Jeffrey Young

Jeffrey Young supports the Federal Aviation Administration’s AAQ600 692M15 Acquisition & Grants unit in procuring mission-critical infrastructure and technical services essential to modernizing the national airspace system. Though his official title is not listed, his procurement activities center on facility construction, building systems integration, and operational support services that enable safe and resilient aviation infrastructure. He manages solicitations and contract awards aligned with the FAA’s strategic goals in air traffic management and aerospace research, ensuring that physical and technical environments meet stringent federal aviation standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Young’s contracting patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large-capacity general contractors and specialized trades firms, particularly in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and janitorial services. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance with FAR and FAA-specific technical requirements. He consistently prioritizes reliability, safety, and regulatory adherence in vendor selection, working closely with project engineers and facility managers to align procurement outcomes with operational needs. Young demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 23% of his acquisitions set aside for total small business contracts under FAR 19.5. Although no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are currently evident, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and stimulate local economic participation in aviation infrastructure development. His primary procurement focus lies in commercial and institutional construction (NAICS 236220), electrical and HVAC systems (238210, 238220), and facility maintenance services (561720). These categories reflect his expertise in procuring built environments that support FAA technical operations, including control towers, research facilities, and maintenance hangars—where compliance with FAA Order 5100.38 and building code integration is paramount.
