Ian Hinojosa

Ian Hinojosa serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical aerospace infrastructure and operational readiness. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for facility modernization, specialized aviation components, and industrial equipment essential to Air Force installation resilience. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure durable, high-performance military infrastructure through strategic contracting in construction, equipment leasing, and advanced materials. Hinojosa typically handles complex, mission-critical procurements requiring compliance with federal construction standards, aerospace specifications, and environmental compliance protocols. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Hinojosa’s procurement patterns indicate a strong emphasis on fostering partnerships with small businesses capable of delivering specialized engineering, coating, and equipment leasing services. His contracting approach prioritizes vendors with technical expertise in civil infrastructure, industrial machinery, and protective coating systems, encouraging collaboration with firms possessing niche capabilities in military-grade facility sustainment. The absence of dominant prime contractors suggests a deliberate strategy to diversify the supplier base and promote competitive bidding across emerging and established small business vendors. Hinojosa maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference across all procurements under his purview, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. His portfolio consistently channels opportunities to small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to increase small business participation in defense infrastructure projects. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 (equipment leasing for industrial and commercial use), 325510 (paint and coating manufacturing for corrosion resistance), and 237990 (heavy civil engineering construction). These categories reflect his technical expertise in sustaining airfield pavements, hangar systems, and protective coatings critical to aerospace operational environments. Hinojosa’s work ensures that infrastructure modernization meets stringent military durability and environmental standards through targeted, compliant acquisitions.
