Timothy Wanamaker

Timothy Wanamaker serves as a key procurement professional within the Oregon State Office of the Bureau of Land Management, overseeing acquisitions critical to the stewardship of federal public lands. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on ecological restoration, infrastructure maintenance, and wildfire mitigation, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission of sustainable land management. His work encompasses the full lifecycle of contracting—from needs assessment and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily supporting field operations through service-based acquisitions in forestry, landscaping, and civil construction. He plays a central role in translating operational priorities into compliant, mission-driven procurement actions that uphold federal regulations and environmental standards. Nanamaker maintains consistent working relationships with L1 Enterprises Incorporated, a primary contractor delivering specialized forestry support and land management services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency and operational reliability, particularly for complex, mission-critical tasks such as invasive species control, trail rehabilitation, and fuel reduction projects. He frequently engages contractors with demonstrated expertise in federal land management contexts, fostering accountability and performance-driven outcomes across multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wanamaker prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities, consistently directing awards to small, locally based firms capable of delivering specialized services on federal lands. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, his portfolio demonstrates a clear institutional commitment to broadening vendor diversity and enhancing community engagement through procurement. His technical focus centers on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 115112 (Soil Preparation and Cultivating), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in ecological restoration, land rehabilitation, and infrastructure upkeep. He procures services ranging from native plant establishment and erosion control to trail and water system construction, ensuring that acquisitions directly support the BLM’s conservation and public safety objectives on Oregon’s federal lands.
