Jack Garrettson

Jack Garrettson serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 109, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain expeditionary airfield operations through mission-critical infrastructure acquisition. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction contracts, Garrettson ensures timely delivery of high-priority civil engineering projects that enhance airfield resilience, aircraft support systems, and remote facility readiness. His acquisitions focus primarily on highway, street, and bridge construction under NAICS 237310, encompassing runway rehabilitation, taxiway upgrades, drainage systems, and perimeter infrastructure essential to expeditionary operations. He operates within a tightly regulated framework aligned with Army Corps of Engineers standards and Department of Defense construction directives. Garrettson maintains a contractor ecosystem composed exclusively of small businesses, with no large prime contractors engaged in his portfolio. His working relationships are characterized by deep collaboration with qualified small firms capable of mobilizing rapidly in austere environments, often requiring specialized expertise in military-grade pavement systems, geotechnical stabilization, and rapid airfield damage repair. He prioritizes vendors with proven experience in DoD construction, military construction manuals (MIL-STD), and expeditionary logistics support, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency and operational adaptability. Garrettson’s procurement strategy is uniformly aligned with a 100% Small Business Set-Aside mandate under FAR 19.5, ensuring all contracts are reserved for small business concerns without further socioeconomic subcategories. This reflects a deliberate agency-wide commitment to maximizing economic opportunity for small firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His contracting patterns consistently channel awards to small businesses with demonstrated capability in civil infrastructure, reinforcing the Army’s broader goal of building a resilient, decentralized supply base. His technical domain expertise centers on heavy civil construction for military airfields, with deep familiarity in asphalt and concrete pavement design, erosion control, stormwater management, and airfield lighting integration. He specializes in procuring turnkey solutions that meet Army Technical Bulletin (TB) and UFC standards, ensuring infrastructure durability under extreme operational conditions.
