Joseph Lichman

Joseph Lichman serves as a key procurement lead within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts critical to U.S. Army garrisons in Europe and other deployed theaters. He oversees the acquisition of maintenance, construction, and equipment servicing solutions that ensure operational readiness of airfields, utilities, barracks, and logistics hubs. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical infrastructure resilience, with a focus on timely, compliant contracting methods that align with Army garrison modernization priorities and overseas contingency requirements. Lichman maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of international and domestic contractors, including ING. LUDWIG FREITAG ELEKTRO-GMBH & CO. KG, BFRENCH CONSULTING LLC, APC AG, FREUND LANDMASCHINEN GMBH & CO. KG, and BB GOVERNMENT SERVICES GMBH. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized European-based firms with proven expertise in military facility engineering, security services, and technical maintenance. His contracting approach prioritizes established vendor performance, technical compliance, and logistical compatibility with overseas deployment environments. Lichman’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the urgency of sustaining critical infrastructure in high-demand theaters where qualified domestic small businesses may lack the specialized international deployment capacity required. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services), predominantly for garrison support services such as family readiness programs and installation-based social services; NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) for perimeter and facility security; and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) for structural and utility infrastructure assessments. His domain expertise centers on integrated facility sustainment, blending civil engineering, security operations, and community support services to maintain mission-critical military installations abroad.
