Michael Pomeroy

Michael Pomeroy serves as an Engineering Technician with the Mark Twain National Forest under the U.S. Forest Service, where he plays a critical role in supporting infrastructure and land management acquisitions. His responsibilities include technical evaluation of construction and forestry support proposals, ensuring compliance with engineering standards for trail and road systems, erosion control structures, and watershed protection projects. He collaborates closely with contracting officers to define scope, assess technical feasibility, and validate contractor capabilities, directly enabling the agency’s mission of sustainable forest stewardship. Pomeroy primarily supports construction and land management procurements, focusing on projects that enhance wildfire resilience and public access while preserving ecological integrity. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Pomeroy routinely engages with firms specializing in civil infrastructure and forestry support services, fostering partnerships with vendors possessing proven expertise in erosion control, trail construction, and invasive species management. His working relationships emphasize technical alignment over volume, prioritizing contractors with field experience in forested environments and familiarity with USDA environmental compliance protocols. He often serves as the technical liaison during source selection, ensuring proposed solutions meet rigorous ecological and safety benchmarks. Pomeroy’s procurement activities are exclusively structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. All acquisitions are reserved for small businesses, with no large business participation permitted, ensuring opportunities for local and regional firms to contribute to national forest maintenance. This pattern supports the agency’s broader goal of cultivating a resilient, community-based contractor base capable of delivering responsive, place-based solutions. His technical focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), which accounts for nearly 90% of his portfolio, encompassing road stabilization, culvert installation, and bridge maintenance in remote terrain. The remaining 11% falls under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), including vegetation management, firebreak construction, and habitat restoration services. Pomeroy’s expertise lies in evaluating engineering designs for durability under high-wildfire-risk conditions and ensuring compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.
