Jeremy Dedmon

Mr. Jeremy Dedmon serves as a contracting professional within the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877) of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical goods and services to sustain aerospace readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning aircraft components, avionics systems, maintenance support, and base infrastructure, ensuring operational continuity for training, logistics, and flight line operations. His work directly supports the squadron’s mandate to enable airpower through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned procurement actions that align with Air Force lifecycle management requirements. Mr. Dedmon maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized manufacturing, technical services, and facility support providers, often engaged through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and performance history, fostering long-term collaboration with firms that demonstrate expertise in aerospace-enabling technologies and infrastructure. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Mr. Dedmon prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He regularly utilizes 8(a) competed, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the defense industrial base. His contracting patterns consistently align with statutory small business goals, ensuring equitable access for qualified disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms. His technical focus centers on niche NAICS categories including industrial gas manufacturing, medical and health services support, and nonscheduled air transportation—domains that, while unconventional in a military contracting context, underpin critical life support, environmental control, and operational logistics functions. This unique blend of specialties demonstrates his ability to navigate complex, cross-domain procurement needs to sustain airbase operations and personnel readiness.
