Jeremy Kasprak

Jeremy Kasprak serves as a key procurement professional within the Stewardship Contracting Branch of the U.S. Forest Service, supporting the agency’s mission to advance ecosystem resilience through landscape-scale stewardship contracting. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions that integrate timber harvesting with ecological restoration, watershed protection, and infrastructure maintenance. His work ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing sustainable forest management goals. Kasprak specializes in complex, multi-objective contracts that require coordination between environmental, operational, and community stakeholders, frequently leveraging authority under the Stewardship Contracting Authority to align resource extraction with ecological outcomes. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including BRINK BROTHERS INC., PEAK ENGINEERING LLC, MILLER TIMBER SERVICES, INC., AZ HAMMER DOWN, LLC, and DENNIS KIRBY, all of whom have demonstrated expertise in forest operations and specialty trade services. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven capacity in on-the-ground forest restoration, hazardous fuel reduction, and site-specific engineering solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical competence, and long-term collaboration over transactional vendor relationships. Kasprak exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent pattern ensures that small businesses—particularly those with specialized forest service capabilities—have equitable access to federal opportunities. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to build capacity within the small business community and foster regional economic development in rural forest-dependent communities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) and NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting the dual need for ecological restoration work and site maintenance activities. He regularly awards contracts for trail rehabilitation, debris removal, fuel treatment, and post-harvest site cleanup, demonstrating deep technical understanding of forest service operational requirements and environmental compliance standards.
