Jeff Vining

Jeff Vining serves as a key procurement professional within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8201 office, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain air base infrastructure and advanced aerospace systems. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on commercial and industrial machinery repair, maintenance, and computer systems design services critical to operational readiness. His acquisitions ensure the continued functionality of avionics, sensing systems, and mission-critical facilities, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in airfield sustainment and modernization. Vining’s work directly enables the Air Force’s ability to maintain high-tempo flight operations through reliable, mission-essential support. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and LiveView Technologies Inc., both of which provide specialized technical solutions in surveillance systems, sensor integration, and facility maintenance automation. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade systems support. Vining’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in quality assurance and rapid response requirements. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while 25% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic commitment to leveraging small business innovation without compromising mission-critical capability delivery. He actively encourages participation from qualified small businesses, particularly those with expertise in industrial maintenance and systems integration. Vining’s primary NAICS focus is on 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance) and 541512 (computer systems design services), underscoring his technical domain expertise in facility infrastructure sustainment and mission-critical software systems. He procures services including preventive maintenance of aerospace support equipment, facility automation systems, and integrated data platforms that enhance operational efficiency across air base environments.
