Jamaal Valentine

Jamaal Valentine serves as Team Lead for the FA5270 18 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the planning, solicitation, and execution of construction and infrastructure maintenance contracts critical to airfield and facility readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. His role ensures the sustained operational capability of U.S. military installations by managing acquisitions that support rapid damage repair, grounds maintenance, and mission-enabling construction services. Valentine specializes in complex, time-sensitive procurements requiring coordination with engineering and logistics teams to meet urgent operational timelines, frequently handling task orders under IDIQ contracts for civil engineering support. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized construction and facility maintenance services tailored to military standards in austere environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally based vendors with proven expertise in military infrastructure projects, including compliance with U.S. and host-nation regulatory frameworks. Valentine’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to safety and security protocols, fostering long-term vendor collaboration over transactional engagements. Valentine’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no set-aside preference, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This approach prioritizes mission urgency and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on selecting the most qualified performers regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, his team evaluates proposals based on technical merit, past performance, and readiness to deploy in high-tempo operational settings. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237110 (water and sewer infrastructure), with significant activity in industrial, commercial, and institutional building construction (236210, 236220), residential remodeling (236118), and painting and wall covering (238320). This reflects deep expertise in facility sustainment, utility system restoration, and structural integrity projects essential to maintaining airfield and base operational continuity under demanding conditions.
