Peter Wier

Peter Wier serves as a Forester with the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, where he plays a critical role in advancing forest health and public safety through the procurement of specialized support services. His responsibilities include planning, coordinating, and overseeing acquisitions that enable hazardous tree removal, trail maintenance, erosion control, and other field-based forestry operations. As a technical lead within the agency’s procurement ecosystem, Wier ensures that contracting activities align with ecological restoration goals and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, directly supporting the Forest Service’s mission of sustainable land management. He primarily handles service-based contracts under the Support Activities for Forestry NAICS code, focusing on contractor-delivered field operations rather than equipment or construction. Wier maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as CLIVUS MULTRUM, INC and VALLEY TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT, INC, both of which provide specialized forestry support services including vegetation management, debris hauling, and mechanized brush control. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in remote, high-risk forest environments and the ability to operate under challenging terrain and seasonal constraints. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and ecological sensitivity, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance and regulatory adherence. All of Wier’s procurement actions are structured under a 100% Small Business Set-Aside designation, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to fostering economic opportunity within rural and forest-dependent communities. He consistently awards contracts to small businesses, ensuring compliance with FAR 19.5 and prioritizing firms with demonstrated capacity in sustainable forestry practices. This approach not only strengthens local economies but also enhances the agency’s ability to access nimble, regionally knowledgeable service providers. His technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—encompassing services such as fuel reduction, invasive species control, silvicultural assistance, and forest road maintenance. Wier’s expertise lies in identifying and contracting for field-ready, ecologically informed operations that directly contribute to forest resilience and public land stewardship.
