Justin A. James serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining air base operational readiness through infrastructure and facility support acquisitions. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on building systems, mission-critical communications infrastructure, and facility services essential to air base resilience. His work spans construction support, environmental systems, and logistics consulting, ensuring that physical and operational assets meet Air Force standards for durability, security, and efficiency. James plays a central role in executing strategic procurement initiatives aligned with the agency’s modernization goals for wastewater treatment, HVAC, and secure facility networks. His primary contractor relationship is with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a trusted partner in delivering specialized facility and logistics services. James consistently engages this vendor for complex, integrated support contracts requiring technical expertise in building systems and operational maintenance. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-performance contractors capable of delivering mission-critical solutions under stringent security and compliance requirements, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor partnerships. James demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6.7% designated for HUBZone firms. While over half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition among qualified small businesses. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541614 (process and logistics consulting), 423210 (furniture wholesale), and 561790 (building services), indicating deep engagement with facility operations, furniture procurement, and building maintenance support. He also oversees specialized acquisitions in motor and generator manufacturing and lawn and garden equipment, reflecting the agency’s broad operational footprint. His technical expertise lies in integrating commercial-grade systems into austere military environments while ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards and mission-specific performance metrics.
