John Lodulce

John Lodulce serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the USDA Forest Service, providing critical oversight of acquisition programs aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain forest and grassland ecosystems. In this role, he ensures contract performance meets technical, safety, and operational standards for infrastructure and emergency response initiatives in remote and rugged environments. His responsibilities include monitoring contractor compliance, evaluating deliverables, and facilitating communication between field operations and vendors. He primarily supports construction and maintenance acquisitions related to water, sewer, and associated public works infrastructure essential to forest service facilities and firefighter support systems. John 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 focus on specialized construction services, staffing solutions for technical and medical roles, and technology integration for field operations. His collaborative approach emphasizes performance accountability and mission alignment, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in regulatory compliance and operational readiness. John demonstrates a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently directing acquisitions toward small business concerns without preference for other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small firms capable of delivering specialized services in challenging terrains. His procurement patterns prioritize vendor capacity, past performance, and local responsiveness, reinforcing the Forest Service’s broader goal of community resilience through inclusive contracting. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction—where he oversees projects involving water distribution, wastewater collection, stormwater management, and associated civil infrastructure on federal lands. His expertise lies in ensuring these systems support firefighter stations, visitor centers, and ecological restoration sites, requiring deep familiarity with environmental compliance, remote construction logistics, and federal construction standards.
