John Hobert

John Hobert serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages acquisition activities critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure. His portfolio focuses on civil engineering, utility systems, and facility maintenance contracts—including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural upgrades—ensuring mission-ready conditions across Air Force installations. He executes full lifecycle procurement actions in compliance with FAR and DFARS, coordinating with engineers and program managers to align contracting strategies with operational readiness goals. Hobert maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key vendor in heating and steam system maintenance and installation. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical capabilities in facility systems, often engaging firms with specialized expertise in industrial mechanical systems and infrastructure rehabilitation. These partnerships are built on performance reliability and adherence to stringent military standards for safety and durability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hobert consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 68.8% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. His procurement approach actively supports socioeconomic programs by structuring solicitations to maximize access for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Air Force mandates to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. His primary NAICS focus includes 335999 for specialized electrical components, 334517 for irradiation apparatus manufacturing, and 813110 for religious organizations—though these reflect niche or outlier categories within his broader civil works mission. The majority of his work centers on 237310 for highway and bridge construction and 332215 for metal fabrication, indicating technical expertise in infrastructure and facility-related manufacturing. Hobert’s contracting profile demonstrates a nuanced understanding of both civil engineering requirements and the specialized supply chains supporting Air Force facility resilience.
