Joshua Zachariah

Joshua Zachariah serves as a Contract Administrator for FA4528 5 Cons under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure projects supporting Air Force installations. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and administering contracts for facility construction, maintenance, and systems integration, with a focus on building systems such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing. He plays a central role in ensuring procurement activities align with Department of the Air Force mission priorities, emphasizing operational readiness through reliable, code-compliant infrastructure. Zachariah routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, primarily for commercial and institutional construction services. He maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a key contractor delivering site development and facility construction services. His procurement approach favors established vendors with demonstrated technical capability in integrated building systems, while also fostering long-term partnerships with firms experienced in federal facility sustainment. Zachariah prioritizes performance-based contracting and leverages contractor past performance evaluations to ensure quality and compliance across project lifecycles. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while 30% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 10% designated as HUBZone set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote broad small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. Zachariah’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with additional activity in utility regulation and solid waste collection services. His technical expertise lies in managing complex, multi-trade construction integrations, ensuring compliance with military construction standards and energy efficiency mandates. He routinely oversees procurements requiring coordination between mechanical, electrical, and structural systems to support the sustained operational capability of Air Force installations.
