Jason Kling - technical

Jason Kling serves as a District Ranger with the USDA Forest Service, responsible for managing forest health, infrastructure resilience, and operational readiness across designated federal lands. In his procurement capacity, he facilitates acquisitions critical to wildfire mitigation, invasive species control, and ecological restoration efforts in remote and rugged terrain. His role directly supports the agency’s mission by ensuring timely access to essential materials and services that sustain field operations, maintain public safety, and enhance long-term ecosystem health. He typically handles small to mid-tier acquisitions for construction materials, equipment, and specialized logistical support required for on-the-ground resource management. Mr. Kling maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche vendors capable of delivering specialized construction materials, temporary staffing for field operations, medical support services for remote crews, and technical logistics solutions tailored to federal land management needs. His procurement approach prioritizes reliability, rapid deployment, and compliance with federal standards for remote-site operations. Mr. Kling demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower locally rooted, economically disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises that align with the Forest Service’s community-based conservation goals. His contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small businesses with proven capacity in rural and forested environments. His procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 423390—Other Construction Material Merchant Wholesalers—indicating a primary focus on sourcing aggregates, erosion control products, fencing, fuel storage systems, and other materials essential for trail maintenance, firebreak construction, and habitat restoration. His technical expertise lies in identifying compliant, durable, and environmentally appropriate materials suited for high-traffic and ecologically sensitive federal lands.
