Judd Lehman

Judd Lehman serves as a key procurement representative for the Fremont-Winema National Forest, supporting the U.S. Forest Service’s mission to maintain ecological resilience and operational readiness across federal forest lands. In this role, he manages acquisition processes for critical services that ensure forest health, public safety, and infrastructure integrity. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts aligned with agency priorities such as wildfire risk mitigation, vegetation management, and pest control operations. Lehman’s procurement activities are tightly aligned with the Forest Service’s strategic goals, emphasizing timely, compliant, and mission-driven acquisitions that support field operations and resource stewardship. Lehman maintains consistent working relationships with a network of specialized service providers, particularly those certified under small business programs. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ecological services, forest health interventions, and pest management. His approach fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships, ensuring contractors deliver technically sound solutions under federal environmental and safety standards. Vendor engagement is characterized by transparent solicitation processes and a focus on long-term service reliability over short-term cost savings. Lehman demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based firms, including those certified as 8(a), HUBZone, or women-owned small businesses. His contracting practices align with federal mandates to promote socioeconomic equity and strengthen community resilience through targeted procurement. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561710—Exterminating and Pest Control Services—reflecting a specialized technical domain centered on invasive species suppression, forest pest management, and ecological restoration. He regularly acquires services related to forest health monitoring, chemical and biological pest control, and integrated pest management systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with USDA environmental protocols and forest service operational requirements.
