Jonathan Logan Herd

Jonathan Logan Herd serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in securing mission-critical instrumentation and support services essential to airpower readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for high-precision analytical equipment, electromedical and electrotherapeutic devices, and industrial measurement systems used in flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. His acquisitions directly enable technical validation and maintenance of aerospace systems, requiring deep familiarity with federal acquisition regulations, technical specifications, and performance-based contracting methodologies. Herds primary contractor relationship is with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor with demonstrated expertise in delivering specialized instrumentation and maintenance solutions aligned with aerospace standards. He consistently engages this contractor for complex, technical procurements requiring stringent compliance with military and laboratory-grade specifications. His working relationship reflects a pattern of repeat engagement grounded in reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to performance metrics, indicating a strategic preference for proven partners capable of supporting mission-essential capabilities under tight operational timelines. Herds contracting portfolio reflects an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced but deliberate commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals active support for entrepreneurial vendors with the technical capacity to meet the agency’s demanding requirements, reinforcing the Air Force’s broader goals for inclusive procurement. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 238110—Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors—indicating a unique and highly specialized application of civil construction services in support of aerospace infrastructure, such as specialized test facility foundations, vibration-isolated concrete pads for sensitive instrumentation, or embedded structural elements for environmental monitoring stations. This unusual alignment underscores his niche expertise in bridging civil construction with high-tech defense systems.
