James Ciccone

James Ciccone serves as a Contracting Officer for FA5270 18 Cons Pk within the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airfield infrastructure and operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. His portfolio centers on facilities support, maintenance services, and rapid response capabilities essential to force projection and airfield resilience. Ciccone executes a wide range of contract types, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments, to procure goods and services that ensure the integrity of military installations, from grounds maintenance to hazardous waste management and facility repair. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement outcomes with the agency’s strategic priorities of continuous operational sustainability and infrastructure readiness. Ciccone maintains long-standing relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized facilities and infrastructure support services tailored to U.S. military operations in the Pacific. His contracting approach reflects a preference for established, regionally embedded vendors with proven expertise in austere environment operations and compliance with DoD standards. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based task orders, and a focus on reliability, technical proficiency, and rapid mobilization in high-tempo operational environments. Ciccone’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of capability and timeliness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgent and non-discretionary nature of airfield sustainment requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all acquisitions adhere strictly to FAR compliance and competitive procedures. His primary NAICS focus includes 337121 for upholstered household furniture manufacturing—supporting barracks and personnel facilities—alongside 562211 for hazardous waste treatment and 561210 for facilities support services. He also routinely procures specialized maintenance under 811490 and 811219, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with installation-level repair ecosystems and environmental compliance protocols essential to Air Force operations.
