He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on food service, lodging, warehousing, and facility support, ensuring uninterrupted operational sustainment during training cycles, mobilizations, and community engagement events. His role centers on executing full lifecycle acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with emphasis on performance-based service contracts that align with force readiness objectives. Littlejohn maintains consistent working relationships with core vendors including K & A Foodservice Inc. and DAVES DELI LLC, both of which provide mission-critical dining and meal support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, reliable contractors with proven capacity to deliver scalable, on-site food service operations under dynamic field conditions. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, quality assurance protocols, and compliance with military dining standards, ensuring seamless integration with unit operations. His contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with 37.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors. This balanced strategy reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, locally-based providers while maintaining operational continuity. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to promote competition and resilience within the vendor base. Littlejohn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), with significant activity also in hospitality (721110), warehousing (493110), and light fabrication and infrastructure support. His expertise spans service acquisition for garrison and field environments, demonstrating specialized knowledge in quality-of-life sustainment systems critical to National Guard readiness.
