Joshua Largent

Joshua Largent serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA5702 379 Econs, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining expeditionary air base operations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition programs focused on facility sustainment, infrastructure maintenance, and logistical enablers essential to mission readiness. His portfolio centers on contracts that ensure operational continuity at overseas and forward-deployed installations, including services related to environmental compliance, utilities support, and facility infrastructure maintenance. Largent exercises full contracting authority under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with Air Force readiness objectives. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Largent engages with a broad spectrum of vendors capable of delivering specialized facility and environmental services, including firms with expertise in hazardous waste management, wastewater systems, and airfield ground support infrastructure. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based service contracts that emphasize outcomes, accountability, and lifecycle cost efficiency. He routinely collaborates with contractors possessing relevant certifications in environmental remediation and military facility support. Largent’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency priority to maximize competition and ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, rather than leveraging socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 562991 — Septic Tank and Related Services — indicating deep specialization in environmental infrastructure support, including wastewater collection, on-site sewage disposal, and related utilities maintenance critical to expeditionary airfield operations. This technical domain requires precise adherence to military environmental regulations and compatibility with austere, deployed conditions, underscoring Largent’s expertise in mission-critical, non-combat logistics sustainment.
