Jamal R. Kareem

Jamal R. Kareem serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3010 81 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure and medical support systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. His portfolio centers on the procurement of specialized medical equipment, facility maintenance services, and mission-critical environmental and communications systems. Kareem ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with strategic priorities such as barracks modernization and medical diagnostic capability enhancement, acting as a vital link between operational requirements and contractor execution. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in construction, facility systems, and veteran-owned service delivery, particularly in the context of military base sustainment and medical support. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical specificity, and long-term vendor performance over transactional engagements. Kareem’s procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a deliberate 18.2% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though not heavily focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs, his consistent use of small business contractors demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. He also procures facilities support services, automotive maintenance, and in-vitro diagnostic substances, demonstrating a technical command over both healthcare and infrastructure domains critical to Air Force readiness.
