A1C Jonathan Cheslo

A1C Jonathan Cheslo serves as a procurement specialist within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining Air University’s educational and operational readiness infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions focused on environmental remediation services, ensuring compliance with federal environmental standards while supporting mission-critical facility operations. His work directly enables the continuity of training environments by mitigating contamination risks at installations, aligning with the agency’s broader goal of maintaining safe, compliant, and modernized educational and command spaces. Cheslo collaborates primarily with small businesses certified under the Small Business Administration’s 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, fostering long-term partnerships with firms specializing in hazardous material abatement, soil and groundwater remediation, and environmental monitoring. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor performance accountability, technical compliance, and responsive service delivery, with a preference for contractors possessing demonstrated expertise in DoD environmental protocols and rapid-response remediation capabilities. He maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference across all procurements, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals under FAR 19.5. This pattern ensures maximum participation from disadvantaged, historically underutilized, and veteran-owned businesses, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to strengthen the small business industrial base while achieving mission outcomes. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), encompassing the acquisition of soil excavation, vapor intrusion mitigation, asbestos and lead abatement, and contaminated site closure services. Cheslo’s technical expertise lies in environmental compliance, remediation engineering, and regulatory coordination with EPA and state environmental agencies, ensuring all contracts meet federal, state, and DoD environmental standards while supporting the uninterrupted operation of Air University’s training and command facilities.
