Jonathan D Larsen

Jonathan D. Larsen serves as the primary contracting lead for the W7NG Uspfo Activity Mn Arng under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of acquisitions that sustain the Minnesota Army National Guard’s garrison operations. His role centers on procuring critical infrastructure and support services essential to operational readiness, including facility maintenance, communications equipment, food service logistics, and public affairs media support. Larsen ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain domestic emergency response capabilities and federal deployment preparedness. He maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including Minnesota Broadcasters Association, Arcabel Solutions LLC, Minnesota Medical Association, CSA Service Solutions, LLC, and Procases, Inc., reflecting a pattern of collaboration with regional specialty providers in media, technical services, and facility support. These partnerships emphasize localized expertise and responsive service delivery, often leveraging long-term vendor engagement to meet mission-critical operational needs with agility and reliability. Larsen’s contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides supports the growth of regional and veteran-owned enterprises, aligning with Department of Defense initiatives to broaden supplier diversity. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 562119 (other waste collection), 541810 (advertising agencies), and 811310/811210 (commercial/industrial and electronic equipment repair), indicating deep expertise in environmental services, public affairs and media outreach, and precision maintenance of non-automotive machinery. This technical specialization enables him to effectively manage complex, non-standard acquisitions requiring niche vendor capabilities to sustain Army National Guard infrastructure and communications systems.
