Jason Rice serves as the Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC) of Commodities for the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure components essential to sustaining Air Force installations. His role centers on procuring technical, operational, and facility-support commodities that ensure the resilience of HVAC, electrical, and cyber-enabled systems in mission-critical facilities. Rice manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning equipment manufacturing, technical consulting, and specialized leasing services, aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities of modernization and operational readiness. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC., each of which delivers specialized solutions in communications infrastructure, facility maintenance, and industrial equipment support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in complex, high-reliability environments, often requiring compliance with military specifications and secure supply chain protocols. Rice demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 90.9% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity and innovation from small, certified vendors. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, fostering growth among small businesses capable of meeting the Air Force’s rigorous technical and compliance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334310 (audio and video equipment manufacturing), 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), 337211 (wood office furniture), 541611 (management consulting), and 532490 (commercial machinery leasing). This blend of technical, administrative, and facility-related commodities underscores his expertise in integrating diverse operational needs into cohesive, mission-aligned acquisition strategies.
