Jerome Gannon

Jerome Gannon serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, specifically supporting the Csa Intermountain 9 unit. He manages the acquisition of critical civil infrastructure services essential to maintaining public access and operational resilience across national forest lands. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for facility maintenance, water system rehabilitation, and structural improvements to roads, bridges, and visitor facilities. Gannon ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission of sustainable resource stewardship and public safety. He maintains strong, ongoing relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, G.S. Bostic Painting LLC, and Camas Creek Contracting L.L.C., all of whom provide high-quality, on-site execution of complex field-based projects. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in remote, environmentally sensitive terrains and the ability to meet stringent Forest Service engineering and environmental compliance standards. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, local capacity, and long-term vendor performance over transactional engagements. Gannon consistently applies a 100% Small Business Set-Aside strategy under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all eligible procurements prioritize small business participation without distinction among 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to fostering economic opportunity in rural and underserved communities where Forest Service infrastructure is most critical. His contracting patterns are deliberately structured to maximize small business engagement and build local workforce capacity. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), reflecting a specialization in building systems maintenance and weatherproofing for remote forest service installations. He routinely procures services involving water line rehabilitation, HVAC retrofitting, roofing system replacement, and related civil support functions critical to sustaining year-round operations in isolated, high-elevation environments.
