Shawn Boelman

Shawn Boelman serves as a key procurement lead within the USDA Forest Service, overseeing acquisitions critical to maintaining the agency’s operational resilience in remote and ecologically sensitive environments. Responsible for managing contracting activities aligned with the Forest Service’s mission of ecological restoration and infrastructure sustainability, Boelman specializes in water and sewer line construction projects that support forest health, wildfire mitigation, and public safety infrastructure. His acquisitions focus on civil works systems essential to sustaining forest service facilities, visitor centers, and fire suppression operations in rugged terrain, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and environmental regulations. Boelman maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, 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 blend of specialized construction firms, workforce support vendors, and technical service providers, all aligned with the agency’s need for agile, on-site execution in isolated locations. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, regulatory adherence, and the ability to mobilize rapidly under challenging field conditions. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Boelman directs 100% of his procurements under the Small Business Set-Aside provisions of FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for small, disadvantaged, and locally rooted enterprises. This consistent application of socioeconomic preferences strengthens community resilience and fosters long-term capacity building within rural contracting markets. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction—where he procures pipelines, pumping systems, wastewater treatment components, and associated civil infrastructure. This specialization underscores his expertise in water resource management, stormwater control, and utility systems that support both ecological integrity and public access across national forest lands.
