Scott Jackson

Scott Jackson serves as a Technical Contracting Specialist within the USDA Forest Service, providing critical technical oversight for acquisitions that support forest management, infrastructure resilience, and emergency response operations. In his role, he bridges operational needs with procurement execution, ensuring that contracts align with ecological restoration goals, wildfire mitigation strategies, and field workforce requirements. He primarily manages technical service and construction-related acquisitions, evaluating vendor proposals for compliance with federal standards and mission-critical performance metrics. His work ensures that contracts deliver durable, safe, and environmentally sound solutions across remote and high-risk terrains. Jackson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in forestry support, construction, and workforce services, including ACI FEDERAL INC, ONE STOP RECRUITING LLC, GONDO ROY E MD, THE LOCUMS CO, LLC, and AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in remote-site operations, temporary staffing for seasonal field crews, and specialized construction services tailored to federal land management needs. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical competency, and rapid mobilization in response to dynamic operational demands. He demonstrates a strong, consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, locally rooted vendors capable of delivering services in underserved rural and forested regions. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic equity while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry). He procures specialized services such as trail and access road maintenance, firebreak construction, invasive species control infrastructure, and temporary technical staffing for field operations, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-critical, terrain-sensitive contracting.
