John Freeling

John Freeling serves as a Contracting Officer for FA5209 374 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility and infrastructure contracts critical to operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan. He executes sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, with a primary focus on ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and mission-critical delivery of construction and maintenance services. His portfolio centers on sustaining safe, functional, and code-compliant environments for personnel and equipment across geographically dispersed bases, prioritizing timely execution of concrete structure and foundational works essential to base resilience. Freeling maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of contractors including KOTRACK INCORPORATED, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC., AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and KOTSUKENSETSU CO., LTD., reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in military installation support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance history, local logistical capability, and adherence to U.S. and host-nation regulatory standards. He routinely engages with both U.S.-based firms and Japan-registered entities to ensure seamless integration of services across international operational theaters. Freeling’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability, past performance, and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent operational requirements. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238110—Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in heavy civil infrastructure, reinforced concrete placement, site preparation, and structural foundation systems. He procures turnkey construction services for barracks, hangar foundations, roadways, and utility pads, demonstrating advanced understanding of military construction standards, geotechnical constraints, and rapid deployment requirements in austere environments.
