Joseph B. Jarvis

Joseph B. Jarvis serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NV Uspfo Activity Ok Arng, supporting the operational readiness and sustainment of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. In this role, he manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions critical to personnel welfare, facility maintenance, and training continuity. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts under the Department of the Army’s logistical and quality-of-life support framework, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with mission-critical readiness objectives. He routinely handles service contracts spanning healthcare support, facility repair, and workforce development initiatives. Jarvis maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, primarily small businesses and specialized service providers. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on regional and niche providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in automotive maintenance, outpatient care support, and educational training services. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, often engaging firms with prior experience in military or state-guard environments to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Jarvis consistently prioritizes small business set-asides, with 71.4% of his awards designated under FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides. His contracting strategy actively promotes participation from small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and locally based firms, reflecting a structured commitment to broadening vendor diversity and enhancing community economic resilience through federal procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621498 (outpatient care centers), 811121 (automotive body and paint repair), and 611710/611513 (educational support and apprenticeship training). These reflect a technical domain centered on sustaining soldier readiness through non-combat services—ensuring training facilities remain operational, personnel receive essential health and maintenance support, and new recruits are effectively integrated through structured workforce development programs.
