John K Back

John K. Back serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in support of warehousing and storage operations. In this role, he ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while executing procurements that align with agency mission requirements. His portfolio is exclusively focused on logistics and supply chain support services, with a strong emphasis on efficient, transparent, and compliant contract execution. He handles a range of acquisition types, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts, primarily for non-federal facility-based storage and distribution services. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Mr. Back maintains a procurement environment that prioritizes equitable access for small business concerns. His contracting patterns reflect a consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering secure, scalable warehousing solutions, including third-party logistics providers, inventory management specialists, and facility operators with proven operational capabilities in government-constrained environments. Mr. Back demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, ensuring that contracting opportunities are reserved exclusively for entities certified under the Small Business Administration’s size standards. His approach reinforces the federal government’s socioeconomic goals by consistently channeling awards to small businesses without reliance on other set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS code 493190, “Other Warehousing and Storage,” which encompasses non-traditional storage services, including temperature-controlled logistics, just-in-time inventory support, and specialized storage for government-owned assets. He specializes in acquiring services that require compliance with federal security protocols, inventory accountability standards, and operational flexibility to support dynamic supply chain demands across federal operations.
