Justin Nettleton (Technical POC)

Justin Nettleton serves as the Technical Point of Contact for the Pacific Northwest Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in advancing infrastructure resilience across remote forested landscapes. He supports the acquisition of civil construction services essential to maintaining forest roads, bridges, and drainage systems that enable ecological stewardship, public safety, and operational access. Nettleton works closely with contracting professionals to define technical requirements, evaluate contractor capabilities, and ensure compliance with environmental and engineering standards. His acquisitions are mission-critical, focusing on projects that sustain forest management operations in sensitive and often rugged terrain. Nettleton maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized engineering and construction contractors, including TRIPLE C-THE A & E GROUP LLC, GREAT WEST ENGINEERING INC, GDM-AE, INC., THOMAS DEAN & HOSKINS INC, and TERRAPHASE ENGINEERING INC. These firms are frequently engaged for their expertise in site-specific civil works, geotechnical analysis, and erosion control in forested environments. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in federal environmental compliance, sustainable construction practices, and remote logistics coordination. Nettleton’s acquisition portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to fostering local economic development and technical capacity within the region. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, ensuring that contracts are awarded to firms certified under small business programs, particularly those with demonstrated capability in civil infrastructure and environmental engineering. This approach strengthens regional resilience by embedding small, locally rooted contractors into the agency’s long-term operational framework. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237310 — Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction — encompassing the design and execution of forest transportation infrastructure. He specializes in procuring services related to culvert installation, slope stabilization, stream crossing repairs, and road rehabilitation in ecologically sensitive zones. Nettleton’s technical expertise lies in ensuring that construction activities align with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements and Forest Service engineering standards, making him a key steward of both infrastructure integrity and environmental protection.
