Jason M. Rimer

Jason M. Rimer serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5270 18 Cons Pk, a Department of the Air Force unit responsible for sustaining critical airfield and facility infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific region. He manages acquisitions that ensure operational readiness through the maintenance, repair, and modernization of mission-critical assets, including airfield systems, communications infrastructure, and heavy civil engineering works. His portfolio emphasizes time-sensitive, mission-essential contracts that support rapid response capabilities, force projection, and installation resilience. Rimer routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, balancing speed with compliance in high-priority operational environments. Rimer maintains consistent contracting relationships with GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and technical support services tailored to military infrastructure needs in the Pacific theater. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, regionally embedded vendors with proven expertise in austere environment operations, airfield damage repair, and facility systems integration. His procurement approach prioritizes reliability, local operational knowledge, and rapid mobilization capacity over broad competition, indicating a strategic reliance on trusted contractors with deep regional experience. Rimer’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on speed, technical capability, and operational continuity over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the urgent nature of airfield and infrastructure sustainment in contested environments. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the selection process remains transparent and grounded in technical merit and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333923 (overhead crane and monorail systems), 334290 and 334220 (communications and broadcasting equipment), 237990 (heavy civil engineering construction), and 336411 (aircraft manufacturing). These categories underscore expertise in airfield support systems, secure communications hardware, and infrastructure resilience technologies essential to sustaining forward-deployed air operations.
