Jake Alverson

Captain Jake Alverson serves as a contracting officer within the FA5209 374th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain operational readiness at U.S. military installations across Japan. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, logistics support, and infrastructure services essential to daily base operations, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and readiness standards. He executes full-cycle procurement actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, specializing in service-based contracts that support facility operations, transportation, and utilities management. His role is pivotal in maintaining the functional integrity of geographically dispersed installations, enabling uninterrupted mission execution through timely and compliant contracting. Captain Alverson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of established contractors, including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in facility services, communications infrastructure, and local compliance in the Pacific theater. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and regional expertise, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in quality delivery and regulatory adherence rather than competitive bidding alone. Captain Alverson’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of mission urgency and contractor capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the operational tempo and geographic constraints of Pacific theater support. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all procurements remain fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and are structured to ensure fair and reasonable pricing through robust market research and price analysis. His primary focus is NAICS 811219—Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance—which encompasses facility maintenance, custodial services, groundskeeping, and infrastructure upkeep. He procures a broad spectrum of technical and manual services critical to base sustainment, including HVAC repair, electrical systems maintenance, waste management, and facility modernization. His domain expertise lies in managing complex, multi-year service contracts that require strict adherence to DoD environmental and safety standards, ensuring installations remain mission-ready under demanding operational conditions.
