SEAN Metzger

Sean Metzger serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Forest Service’s CSA East 4 unit, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain national forest lands through operational and environmental service contracts. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, vegetation management, and land stewardship activities critical to fire prevention, recreation access, and watershed protection. His work ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contracting strategies with the Forest Service’s ecological and public safety objectives. Metzger typically handles service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, emphasizing performance-based requirements and long-term operational support. Metzger maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., both of which provide specialized environmental and forestry support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in ecological restoration, wildlife management, and infrastructure maintenance. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-driven contract modifications, indicating a focus on continuity, technical proficiency, and mission alignment rather than transactional procurement. Metzger demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 98% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly those certified under standard small business programs, fostering local economic development and enhancing contractor diversity. His approach consistently aligns with federal goals to increase contracting opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 561730 (Landscaping Services), underscoring his technical expertise in environmental operations and land management support. He also procures specialized equipment under NAICS 333111 and 336110, indicating engagement with machinery and vehicle systems critical to field operations. Metzger’s domain expertise centers on integrating service delivery with ecological outcomes, ensuring contracted work directly supports the Forest Service’s stewardship mandate.
