Jeremy Howard

Jeremy Howard serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4620 92 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for industrial maintenance services, physical security systems, and specialized equipment essential to aviation and ground support operations. His procurement activities center on ensuring the reliability of critical defense facilities through compliant, timely, and technically sound contracting actions aligned with Department of Defense standards and FAR guidelines. Howard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Didsbury Inc., ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., NW TEL, LLC, RHODES STEPHENNE, and ATS INLAND NW LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility maintenance, acoustic mitigation, telecommunications infrastructure, and specialized equipment supply. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and responsiveness to dynamic operational requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Howard consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand economic opportunity within the defense supply base, while ensuring access to agile, niche-capable providers. His contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary NAICS focus areas include 541990 (professional and technical services), 423850 and 423490 (equipment and supplies wholesale distribution), and 334290 and 339114 (communications and dental equipment manufacturing). These categories reveal a specialized procurement domain centered on technical services, facility support equipment, and niche industrial hardware—demanding deep familiarity with federal supply chains and technical specifications for defense-critical systems.
