SrA Jacob Hiatt

Jacob Hiatt supports critical procurement operations for the FA2550 50 Cons Pkp under the Department of the Air Force, facilitating the acquisition of advanced aerospace and space systems essential to national defense. He manages contracts for mission-critical infrastructure including satellite telecommunications, precision electronic testing instruments, and ground-based radio and wireless equipment. His work directly enables the modernization and sustainment of space domain awareness capabilities, ensuring operational readiness across DoD space and air operations. Hiatt typically handles complex, technically intensive acquisitions requiring compliance with defense-specific standards and rapid integration into existing defense architectures. His contractor relationships are primarily with small businesses and niche manufacturers, though notable partnerships include the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC—entities that may support ancillary or non-core logistical or administrative functions. These relationships suggest a broader procurement scope that extends beyond direct defense hardware, possibly encompassing facility support, workforce development, or non-technical services aligned with base operations. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, specialized vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions within tight operational timelines. Hiatt demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 79.2% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, fostering innovation and resilience in the defense supply chain. While specific set-aside categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not dominant in the data, the overwhelming reliance on small business set-asides indicates a structured effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and locally based vendors. His primary NAICS focus areas include Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, Computer Terminal and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing, and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance. These reflect expertise in procuring precision instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and maintenance services for electronic and aerospace hardware. Hiatt’s portfolio underscores deep technical proficiency in electronic systems integration and industrial support services vital to sustaining DoD’s space and communications infrastructure.
