Jonathan Hirsch

Jonathan Hirsch serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of mission-enabling infrastructure and facilities support services critical to operational readiness at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for construction, maintenance, and utility systems that sustain airfield and base infrastructure. He specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary procurements requiring coordination across engineering, environmental, and logistics stakeholders, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Air Force-specific acquisition policies. Hirsch maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC, and ML Armaments LLC, reflecting a balanced portfolio of construction, environmental services, and specialized defense support vendors. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering mission-critical services under stringent military standards. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 43% of awards structured as small business set-asides, including 28.6% under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and 14.3% competed under the 8(a) program. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his deliberate use of socioeconomic authorities demonstrates a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance resilience within the supply base. Hirsch’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in specialty trade contracting (238990), industrial equipment manufacturing (333923), and steel pipe production (331210). His expertise lies in acquiring integrated facility systems, including HVAC, utilities, and security-related infrastructure, requiring technical knowledge of military construction standards and environmental compliance frameworks.
