Jerry Hood

Jerry Hood serves as a Maintenance Supervisor responsible for overseeing facility maintenance operations and directing procurement activities related to building systems and infrastructure support. In this role, he acts as a key operational liaison between facility needs and acquisition functions, ensuring that maintenance requirements are translated into compliant, timely contracts. His acquisitions primarily involve service-based contracts for plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, aligning with the agency’s mission to sustain safe, efficient, and code-compliant facilities. He works closely with maintenance crews, engineers, and procurement staff to define technical specifications and evaluate contractor performance. Jerry Hood maintains strong working relationships with a network of qualified plumbing, heating, and HVAC contractors, many of whom are small business concerns certified under federal socioeconomic programs. He consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in commercial and institutional building systems, prioritizing responsiveness, preventive maintenance capabilities, and adherence to industry standards such as ASHRAE and IMC. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative partnerships that support lifecycle asset management and operational continuity. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Jerry Hood directs 100% of his procurement activity toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all contracts are reserved exclusively for small business concerns regardless of specific socioeconomic designation. His consistent use of this set-aside mechanism reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the local contractor community while maintaining high standards of service delivery. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where he specializes in procuring installation, repair, and preventive maintenance services for commercial-grade HVAC systems, hydronic piping, refrigeration units, and building automation controls. He possesses deep domain knowledge in mechanical systems compliance, energy efficiency standards, and preventive maintenance protocols, ensuring that all contracted work meets operational and regulatory requirements.
