Jonathan R. Carter

Jonathan R. Carter serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4620 92 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for executing mission-critical procurements that sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning industrial maintenance, security systems, and specialized equipment essential to aviation and ground support operations. His work ensures the reliability of physical facilities, defensive infrastructure, and mission-enabling systems through compliant, strategic contracting practices aligned with Air Force readiness priorities. Carter maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Didsbury Inc., ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., NW TEL, LLC, RHODES STEPHENNE, and ATS INLAND NW LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in niche industrial and technical domains, often delivering custom-engineered solutions for facility maintenance, communications, and security applications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of his acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Carter demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern indicates a balanced approach: prioritizing mission efficiency while intentionally creating opportunities for qualified small businesses to support critical Air Force sustainment objectives. His procurement focus is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: 339994 (Broom, Brush, and Mop Manufacturing), 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing), 325998 (Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing), and 334220 (Radio and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing). These reflect a technical specialization in industrial consumables, precision tools, specialized chemical formulations for facility upkeep, and field-deployable communication hardware—domains critical to maintaining operational environments under austere conditions.
