Joseph A Preusser

Joseph A. Preusser serves as a Contracting Officer for FA5270 18 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airfield operations and infrastructure readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. His portfolio focuses on procurement of facilities maintenance services, airfield damage repair equipment, and mission-enabling technical systems essential to force projection and operational continuity. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with national security requirements while delivering timely, reliable solutions to sustain Air Force readiness. Preusser maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized engineering, logistics, and facility support services tailored to military installation environments. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing deep regional expertise and proven capability in austere operational settings. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition, performance-based incentives, and rigorous oversight to ensure mission-critical outcomes. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 97.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on capability and speed over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is limited at 2.6%, it is strategically aligned with targeted FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides for niche technical services where qualified domestic vendors meet stringent operational requirements. Preusser’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing) for custom defense-related components, 334290 and 334519 for specialized communications and control systems, and 423450 and 423690 for medical and electronic equipment wholesale distribution. His technical expertise lies in procuring ruggedized, field-deployable systems that support airfield operations, security infrastructure, and emergency response capabilities under high-tempo, expeditionary conditions.
