Jarrett Middleton

Jarrett Middleton serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5215 766 Ess Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain airpower readiness across technical, logistical, and infrastructure domains. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical services including IT modernization, facility maintenance, and operational support systems, ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities in secure communications and resilient base operations. His portfolio emphasizes performance-based contracting and integrated service delivery to maintain high-readiness environments for air operations. Middleton maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC, each bringing specialized capabilities in IT infrastructure, technical support, and facility services. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven track records in defense environments, while actively fostering long-term partnerships that ensure continuity, compliance, and mission adaptability. He engages these contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, prioritizing technical excellence and operational reliability. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 41% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6.4% allocated to 8(a) and women-owned small business programs. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, Middleton strategically deploys set-asides to expand the defense industrial base and promote innovation from small, agile firms with niche capabilities. Middleton’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (custom computer programming), 541519 (other computer-related services), 561110 (office administrative services), 811111 (general automotive repair), and 562910 (remediation services). He routinely acquires cybersecurity-enabled software solutions, base maintenance systems, environmental compliance services, and mission-critical administrative support, demonstrating deep expertise in integrating commercial best practices with defense-specific requirements to support operational tempo and regulatory compliance.
