Jonathan Jue

Jonathan Jue serves as District Resource Officer for the Tahoe National Forest, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing the U.S. Forest Service’s mission of ecological stewardship and public safety through strategic procurement. Responsible for managing acquisitions that support forest restoration, wildfire mitigation, and infrastructure resilience, Jue ensures that contracting activities align with federal land management priorities. He oversees the solicitation and award of contracts for materials and services critical to maintaining trail systems, roads, and forested landscapes, with a focus on sustainable resource extraction and environmental compliance. His work directly supports operational readiness and long-term ecosystem health across the district. Jue collaborates closely with a network of specialized contractors experienced in heavy civil construction, quarrying, and low-impact resource extraction. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing expertise in mineral resource supply, erosion control, and forest service-compatible earthmoving. He fosters long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations, safety protocols, and sustainable harvesting practices, ensuring alignment with federal land use standards. Jue maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All eligible procurements are reserved exclusively for small businesses, prioritizing participation from 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) that meet technical qualifications for resource extraction and site rehabilitation. This approach strengthens local economies while ensuring a diverse, capable vendor base aligned with the Forest Service’s values. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 212319 — Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying — reflecting his specialization in sourcing aggregate materials for road maintenance, erosion control structures, and firebreak construction. Jue’s technical expertise lies in the procurement of crushed stone, gravel, and other mineral aggregates sourced from federally authorized quarries, ensuring compliance with NEPA and National Environmental Policy Act requirements while supporting critical infrastructure needs across the Tahoe National Forest.
