Jacob Tackett

Jacob Tackett serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-critical operational systems. He oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on engineering services, facility maintenance, and logistics support essential to aerospace readiness. His work ensures the integrity of airfield systems, industrial equipment, and environmental services at remote and austere locations, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities of resilience, preventive maintenance, and rapid deployment capability. Tackett maintains consistent contracting relationships with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a primary vendor delivering specialized support services, and engages with a broad network of small business contractors across technical and service domains. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-responsive vendor partnerships, often involving firms capable of rapid mobilization and field-deployable solutions. He routinely collaborates with contractors who provide integrated maintenance, technical engineering, and facility support services tailored to expeditionary environments. His contracting approach strongly emphasizes small business participation, with over two-thirds of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He also regularly utilizes HUBZone, 8(a), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion and workforce development within the defense supply chain. Tackett’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where he procures infrastructure design and technical assessments, alongside NAICS 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing) for mission-support furnishings and NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) for environmental management at remote installations. His expertise spans the acquisition of industrial equipment, facility systems, and mission-enabling services critical to sustaining aerospace operations in austere conditions.
