William M. Pfeifer

William M. Pfeifer serves as a Contracting Officer for the USDA Forest Service, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and ecological support services essential to maintaining the nation’s forested public lands. His portfolio encompasses construction, maintenance, and engineering services that ensure safe access, resilient transportation networks, and sustainable recreational facilities. Pfeifer oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation through contract award and administration—focusing on complex, mission-critical projects such as trail and road rehabilitation, bridge replacement, and campground modernization. He plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting strategies with the Forest Service’s operational priorities and federal acquisition regulations. Pfeifer maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GCS LLC, ACME ASPHALT INDUSTRIES INC, and TwentyoneTwentyseven LLC, all of which have demonstrated technical proficiency in heavy civil construction and forestry support services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering reliability and accountability in the delivery of infrastructure and ecological restoration services. He frequently engages contractors with proven experience in remote-site operations and environmental compliance, ensuring projects meet both engineering standards and ecological safeguards. Pfeifer exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 45% of his acquisitions structured as small business set-asides, including 25.7% Total Small Business Set-Asides and 20.3% HUBZone Set-Asides. While the majority of his awards are open to all competitors, his strategic use of socioeconomic programs reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and geographically targeted firms, particularly those with expertise in rural infrastructure and forest service support. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting deep expertise in forestry operations, earthwork, pavement systems, and civil engineering for remote environments. He also routinely procures architectural services and related engineering support to ensure design compliance with federal environmental and accessibility standards, demonstrating a well-rounded command of technical domains critical to the Forest Service’s infrastructure mission.
