James

James serves as the Officer in Charge (OIC) for FA3300 42 Cons Cc within the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and technical systems that support Air University’s educational and operational readiness missions. In this role, he manages a specialized portfolio of procurements focused on building equipment systems, including advanced audiovisual installations, immersive simulation infrastructure, and mission-critical facility upgrades. His responsibilities include guiding the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization goals and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. James works with a broad spectrum of contractors specializing in building equipment systems, including firms experienced in integrating smart building technologies, high-fidelity training simulators, and mission-tailored AV systems for command and instructional environments. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he maintains collaborative relationships with vendors possessing deep technical expertise in facility electrification, control systems, and integrated training environments, prioritizing performance, reliability, and lifecycle support over cost alone. James’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and vendor performance rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, mission-critical solutions that require proven expertise in complex facility systems. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), underscoring his specialization in the installation, integration, and maintenance of advanced building systems such as digital signage, networked audiovisual control panels, simulation hardware interfaces, and facility-wide automation platforms. James’s domain expertise lies in enabling next-generation learning environments through seamless, scalable, and secure infrastructure solutions that directly support Air Force training modernization.
