Jesse K. Jeppesen

Jesse K. Jeppesen serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. Their work directly supports the agency’s mandate to enhance operational readiness through facility upgrades, integrated communication systems, and fire safety modernization. Jeppesen routinely handles complex contracts for specialized equipment, maintenance services, and technical infrastructure solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards. They operate at the intersection of facility engineering and procurement strategy, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution to maintain secure, resilient installations. Jeppesen maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in facility modernization, electrical systems integration, and industrial maintenance. The contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established, capable small businesses with proven track records in delivering mission-aligned solutions under tight operational timelines and stringent security protocols. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Jeppesen’s contracting approach, with 83.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and specialized capabilities of small firms. There is no evidence of use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, indicating a broad-based small business focus rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Jeppesen’s procurement portfolio is evenly distributed across four key NAICS categories: 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, 423710 for hardware wholesale, 423610 for electrical apparatus and wiring supplies, and 621511 for medical laboratories. This unusual alignment suggests a unique operational environment requiring both facility maintenance and medical support services, likely tied to on-site health and safety infrastructure. Their technical expertise spans mechanical systems, electrical distribution networks, and industrial maintenance protocols essential to Air Force base resilience.
