Jake Hluska

Jake Hluska serves as a key procurement lead within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. He manages acquisitions for facility modernization, utilities resilience, and technical support systems essential to national security space operations. His portfolio includes contracts for infrastructure upgrades, precision equipment maintenance, and mission-critical IT services, ensuring operational readiness through compliant, mission-aligned contracting practices. Hluska maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These relationships reflect a focus on firms capable of delivering specialized construction, systems integration, and technical support services tailored to high-security, mission-critical environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term performance outcomes over transactional vendor engagement. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hluska prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 59% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the industrial base supporting space infrastructure resilience. While no set-aside remains prevalent, his pattern demonstrates sustained engagement with small, qualified vendors across multiple socioeconomic categories, enhancing workforce diversity and innovation in mission-critical support. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to electronic computer manufacturing, computer-related services, and precision equipment repair—particularly in domains such as space-grade instrumentation, secure communications, and facility automation systems. Hluska’s expertise lies in acquiring technical solutions that integrate with legacy and next-generation space operations infrastructure, ensuring compatibility, cybersecurity compliance, and long-term maintainability of mission-critical systems.
