Jerry Wilson

Jerry Wilson serves as an Engineering Technician with the Mark Twain National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where he supports the planning, evaluation, and technical oversight of infrastructure projects critical to forest management. His role involves assessing engineering requirements for trail systems, forest roads, erosion control structures, and watershed protection infrastructure, ensuring all acquisitions align with federal environmental and safety standards. Wilson plays a key liaison role between field operations and contracting personnel, translating technical needs into precise statement of work requirements for construction and land management services. He is deeply involved in the pre-solicitation phase, conducting site evaluations and validating contractor capabilities to ensure compliance with ecological and structural performance benchmarks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Wilson routinely engages with qualified construction firms capable of executing complex, environmentally sensitive civil works in remote forested terrain. He prioritizes vendors with proven experience in sustainable infrastructure, erosion control, and low-impact development techniques, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in forest service standards and environmental compliance protocols. Wilson’s procurement activity is fully aligned with a 100% small business set-aside mandate under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms. He actively encourages participation from HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB contractors with demonstrated capacity in rural infrastructure construction, ensuring socioeconomic goals are met without compromising technical integrity. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—encompassing forest road rehabilitation, culvert installation, retaining wall construction, and trail grading. Wilson brings specialized expertise in terrain-specific civil works, ensuring all contracted efforts support wildfire resilience, habitat connectivity, and public access while adhering to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and USDA Forest Service engineering guidelines.
