Jeremy Peppler

Jeremy Peppler serves as a Contracting Officer for FA5270 18 Cons Pk within the Department of the Air Force, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain airfield operations and infrastructure readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. His portfolio focuses on ensuring continuous force projection through timely procurement of facilities maintenance, logistics support, and technical services essential to operational sustainability. He handles a diverse range of contract types, including firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements, primarily supporting civil engineering, airfield repair, and mission-enabling services under the Defense Contract Management Agency framework. Peppler maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and facility support services tailored to military installation requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, regionally embedded vendors with proven expertise in austere environment operations and rapid response capabilities. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability, compliance with DoD installation standards, and seamless integration with U.S. Air Force civil engineering teams. Peppler’s procurement strategy reflects a non-set-aside approach, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his focus remains on mission-critical performance, technical competency, and geographic responsiveness over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the urgency and operational tempo of Pacific theater sustainment. His primary NAICS focus includes 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local) for local logistics and equipment movement, 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) for engineering and technical advisory support, and 813110 (Religious Organizations) for chaplaincy and morale, welfare, and recreation services. This unique blend underscores his role in procuring both hard infrastructure and human support services critical to garrison readiness and force resilience in remote operational environments.
