Joseph Petersen

Joseph Petersen serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain critical aerospace infrastructure and operational readiness. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for military facility construction, repair, and modernization, as well as the procurement of specialized aviation components and sensing technologies. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure the resilience and functionality of Air Force installations through technically rigorous, mission-critical contracting actions that align with DoD standards for durability, cybersecurity, and interoperability. Petersen maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of contractors, including general contractors with federal construction experience, aerospace systems integrators, and niche suppliers of advanced sensing and communication hardware. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance in defense environments, and compliance with military specifications. He routinely engages with firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions for hardened infrastructure and mission-critical avionics, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical competency and regulatory adherence. His contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with an equal split between open competitions and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balanced approach demonstrates a deliberate strategy to prioritize veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining access to a broad pool of qualified vendors. Petersen actively promotes SDVOSB participation as a core element of equitable contracting, ensuring that small businesses with specialized capabilities in construction, maintenance, and aerospace support have meaningful access to Air Force opportunities. While specific NAICS codes are not yet available, his portfolio consistently targets technical domains including military construction (NAICS 236), aerospace component manufacturing (NAICS 3364), and information systems integration for defense infrastructure. He specializes in procuring hardened electrical systems, secure communication networks, environmental control units, and sensor-enabled monitoring platforms essential to modern Air Force base operations.
