Jacob Tackett

Jacob Tackett serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc, a Department of the Air Force organization responsible for sustaining critical airfield and facility infrastructure across Air Force installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and logistical support contracts designed to ensure operational readiness and mission-critical aviation functionality. His acquisitions span capital improvements, environmental systems, and heavy civil engineering projects, with a strong emphasis on timely execution and compliance with Department of Defense facility standards. Tackett plays a central role in aligning contracting strategy with the agency’s mission to modernize infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted base operations. He maintains consistent working relationships with AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, both of which provide specialized services in facility construction, geospatial analysis, and infrastructure resilience solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in military-grade construction standards and technical precision. Tackett’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary projects under tight operational timelines. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of awards issued under open competition and 40% allocated to small business set-asides—equally split between 8(a) competed and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising mission requirements. He actively leverages 8(a) certification to expand vendor diversity while maintaining competitive rigor. Tackett’s primary NAICS focus areas include 333415 (HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturing), 423830 (industrial machinery wholesale), 811219 (other commercial and industrial machinery repair), and 237990 (other heavy and civil engineering construction). His technical domain expertise centers on facility systems integration, environmental control infrastructure, and large-scale civil works, reflecting a deep understanding of the technical specifications required to sustain Air Force operational environments.
