379 Econslgc

379 Econslgc serves as a Contingency Contracting Officer within the FA5702 379 Econs organization under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for rapidly executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain expeditionary air base operations. In this role, they ensure operational readiness by procuring essential infrastructure, maintenance, and logistical support services under time-sensitive, high-priority conditions. Their acquisitions typically encompass facility sustainment, equipment repair, and mission-enabling technical systems, often in austere or overseas environments where agility and compliance with contingency contracting authorities are paramount. They operate within the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement framework to deliver timely, lawful solutions that directly support airpower projection and base resilience. Contractor relationships are characterized by a broad, non-exclusive engagement with qualified vendors capable of rapid mobilization and technical adaptability. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they routinely collaborate with specialty trade contractors, industrial equipment suppliers, and business support service providers capable of meeting urgent operational demands. The contracting officer prioritizes vendors with proven experience in military contingency environments, emphasizing responsiveness, compliance with security protocols, and the ability to deliver under non-traditional contracting conditions without compromising quality or accountability. This officer’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. There is no documented reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, indicating a mission-driven focus on capability and speed over socioeconomic targeting. This approach aligns with contingency operations where time-sensitive requirements often preclude extended solicitation periods or certification verification processes. The officer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 335929 (Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing), 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), 561499 (All Other Business Support Services), and 423740 (Refrigeration Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers). These reflect a technical domain expertise in facility utilities, environmental control systems, industrial instrumentation, and mission support logistics, with an emphasis on hardware, maintenance, and ancillary services critical to expeditionary airfield operations.
