Jamison W. Harned

Jamison W. Harned serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NU Uspfo Activity Oh Arng, a key logistical support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining Ohio Army National Guard operational readiness. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility, subsistence, and transportation services critical to garrison operations. His portfolio centers on ensuring safe, functional, and self-sustaining environments for reserve component personnel through the acquisition of construction, lodging, catering, and equipment leasing services. Harned applies Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols to execute competitive solicitations, negotiate contract terms, and ensure compliance with federal mandates, directly supporting the agency’s mission to maintain readiness through reliable infrastructure and daily sustainment. Harned maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Hovis Construction LLC, Arillic LLC, MIC Industries Inc., and Columbus Corporate Caterers Inc., each providing specialized services in building construction, facility maintenance, and meal support. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence, often resulting in repeat engagements across multiple contract vehicles. He prioritizes vendors with proven capacity to deliver mission-critical services under demanding operational timelines and stringent safety standards. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly equal portions of awards designated as total small business set-asides and non-set-aside competitions, alongside a notable 14.3% allocation to HUBZone firms. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster small business participation while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent operational needs. Harned actively leverages FAR 19.5 provisions to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting a strong emphasis on facility upgrades and temporary lodging for training cycles. He also regularly procures services under 238910 (Site Preparation), 485410 (School and Employee Bus Transportation), and 532490 (Equipment Leasing), underscoring expertise in integrated garrison support systems that combine physical infrastructure with operational logistics.
