Jessica Stuntebeck

Jessica Stuntebeck serves as a key procurement lead within the Monongahela National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecological stewardship and public land management. She manages the acquisition of environmental consulting services essential to forest restoration, wildfire resilience planning, and infrastructure maintenance across West Virginia’s public lands. Her work ensures compliance with federal environmental regulations and supports science-based land management decisions through targeted contracting. Stuntebeck specializes in sole-source and competitive acquisitions under NAICS 541620, focusing on ecological assessments, habitat restoration design, and environmental impact analyses. Her contractor relationships center on environmental science firms and technical consultants with expertise in forest ecology, hydrology, and wildlife management. She regularly engages with small businesses and specialized environmental firms capable of delivering field-based data collection, GIS mapping, and compliance documentation. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in Appalachian forest systems and federal land management protocols. Stuntebeck maintains a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately half of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring robust participation from small, local, and disadvantaged businesses. Her contracting practices align with USDA and Forest Service goals to promote economic opportunity in rural communities through environmental contracting. Her primary industry focus is environmental consulting services (NAICS 541620), encompassing ecological monitoring, reforestation planning, invasive species control, and recreation site remediation. She procures specialized technical services requiring certified biologists, foresters, and environmental engineers, ensuring that all acquisitions meet rigorous scientific and regulatory standards. Her expertise lies in translating complex ecological needs into clear, compliant solicitations that attract qualified, mission-aligned vendors.
