Jerri Park

Jerri Park serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the USDA Forest Service, providing critical oversight of mission-critical acquisitions supporting forest health, ecological restoration, and emergency response operations across national forests and grasslands. In this role, she ensures contractual compliance, monitors performance, and facilitates coordination between technical teams and contractors to advance the agency’s strategic priorities in wildfire mitigation, invasive species control, and infrastructure resilience. Her procurement focus centers on specialized services and supplies essential for field operations in remote, rugged terrain, including workforce support, environmental remediation, and forest product management. Park 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 reliance on niche service providers delivering specialized labor, medical support for field personnel, and technical expertise in ecological operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and operational readiness. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Park exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring all eligible contracts are reserved for small businesses. This consistent pattern underscores a deep commitment to socioeconomic equity and workforce development within rural and underserved communities, aligning with the Forest Service’s broader goals of inclusive economic engagement. Her procurement activity is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 113210 (Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products), reflecting direct support for reforestation and native plant propagation, and 325314 (Fertilizer (Mixing Only) Manufacturing), indicating targeted acquisition of specialized soil amendments for ecological restoration. These domains reveal her technical expertise in sustainable land management and the procurement of scientifically informed, environmentally compliant inputs for forest health initiatives.
