Jeffrey Earle

Jeffrey Earle serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division, supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s mission to advance land conservation and soil health through expert technical services. He manages the full lifecycle of engineering and construction-related contracts, focusing on field-level conservation infrastructure, easement restoration projects, and data-enabled agricultural planning systems. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with federal conservation goals, ensuring that technical expertise in civil engineering and environmental remediation is effectively mobilized to support rural land management initiatives. Earle maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which specialize in civil engineering, conservation site development, and ecological restoration services. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in implementing USDA conservation programs, often involving surveying, erosion control, and hydrological infrastructure. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term performance, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in regulatory adherence and mission alignment. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Earle directs 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for small, locally rooted firms capable of delivering specialized conservation engineering services. This pattern underscores a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to empower small enterprises with niche expertise in agricultural land management, reinforcing rural economic resilience through targeted contracting. His procurement portfolio is exclusively centered on NAICS 237990, Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, reflecting deep specialization in infrastructure projects that support conservation easements, terracing, drainage systems, and soil stabilization. He procures services requiring advanced knowledge of USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service standards, environmental permitting, and geospatial data integration—ensuring that every acquisition advances the agency’s mission through technically sound, environmentally responsible engineering solutions.
