Jason Longshore

Jason James Longshore serves as a key procurement lead within the Rocky Mountain Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to advance ecological restoration, wildfire mitigation, and watershed protection across federal lands. Though his formal title is not listed, his procurement activities are central to securing operational and technical services that enable land stewardship, infrastructure resilience, and public safety initiatives. He routinely manages acquisitions for professional, health, and food services contracts aligned with field operations, personnel support, and mission-critical staffing needs, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and agency-specific environmental priorities. His contractor relationships are characterized by consistent engagement with small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, though specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed. He fosters collaborative partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized services in healthcare, mental health, and on-site food support—critical for sustaining remote field crews and seasonal personnel. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, locally rooted vendors who can respond rapidly to dynamic operational demands in mountainous and rural terrains. Longshore demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 76.9% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and community resilience. His procurement portfolio prioritizes socioeconomic contracting vehicles, aligning with USDA and Forest Service goals to increase equitable access to federal opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs. His primary NAICS focus lies in healthcare services—specifically physician and dental offices (621111, 621210, 621112)—indicating a need for on-site clinical and preventive health support for Forest Service personnel in remote locations. A smaller but consistent portion of his portfolio supports food service contractors (722310), ensuring nutritional services for seasonal workers and emergency response teams. This unique blend of health and operational support contracting underscores his expertise in sustaining workforce readiness in challenging environments.
