Logan Ross, COR

Logan Ross serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) for the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 3 Southwestern Regional Office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain forest infrastructure and public land stewardship. In this role, Ross oversees the technical execution and performance of procurement contracts related to facility maintenance, environmental services, and civil works projects. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and provides critical oversight for service-based contracts that uphold the operational integrity of recreational, water, and sanitation systems across federal lands. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on janitorial and custodial services essential to visitor facility operations and environmental cleanliness. Ross maintains a consistent working relationship with GERMRIP LLC, the primary contractor delivering janitorial and facility support services under the agency’s contracts. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to meet stringent service level agreements tied to sanitation standards, waste management protocols, and compliance with federal environmental guidelines. He collaborates closely with field personnel to align contractor deliverables with on-the-ground operational needs, fostering a partnership model centered on accountability and continuous improvement. Ross exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, exclusively awarding contracts to small business concerns without socioeconomic subcategories. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally based service providers while ensuring responsive, community-integrated service delivery. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong preference for full small business participation, reinforcing the Department of Agriculture’s broader goals of inclusive economic development. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing routine custodial operations, deep cleaning of visitor centers and restrooms, waste removal, and environmental sanitation in remote and high-traffic forest service facilities. Ross’s expertise lies in managing service contracts that demand high reliability, adherence to health and safety standards, and adaptability to rugged, often isolated, public land environments.
