Jason Remshardt

Jason Remshardt serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Forest Service’s Csa Intermountain 5 office, where he manages contracting activities critical to sustaining forest ecosystem health. His responsibilities center on acquiring technical services that support reforestation, wildfire mitigation, and environmental remediation efforts across national forest lands. He specializes in engineering and scientific services aligned with ecological restoration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of environmental stewardship. His acquisitions primarily involve laboratory testing, environmental monitoring, and field-based analytical services essential to assessing forest health and regulatory compliance. Remshardt maintains a consistent working relationship with TETRA TECH, INC. and ALLIED ENGINEERING SERVICES INC., both of which provide specialized environmental testing, soil and water analysis, and ecological assessment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in field data collection, laboratory certification, and federal environmental compliance. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging contractor capabilities to deliver scientifically rigorous outcomes that inform land management decisions. He exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5). This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, qualified firms with the technical capacity to support complex environmental assessments, fostering economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of service quality and regulatory adherence. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541380—Testing Laboratories and Services—encompassing environmental sampling, chemical and biological analysis, and field validation of ecological conditions. He procures services that support compliance with NEPA, Endangered Species Act, and other federal environmental mandates, relying on contractors with accredited laboratories and certified field personnel to deliver defensible, data-driven results essential to forest management planning and restoration initiatives.
