Justin D. Scherer

Justin D. Scherer serves as a key procurement professional within the FA5706 380 Econs Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing construction-related acquisitions that sustain and modernize mission-critical air operations infrastructure. His work directly supports the agency’s mandate to construct, maintain, and upgrade commercial and industrial facilities—including hangars, command centers, and utility systems—ensuring operational readiness through reliable HVAC, electrical, and plumbing networks. Scherer primarily handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Other Building Equipment Contractors NAICS code, focusing on specialized mechanical and building systems integration rather than general construction. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on technical precision and performance-based outcomes, with procurement activities centered on qualified contractors capable of delivering complex building equipment installations and retrofits. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, his acquisitions consistently require vendors with demonstrated expertise in commercial-grade facility systems, including energy-efficient retrofits, automated controls, and code-compliant utility upgrades. Scherer’s approach prioritizes technical capability and past performance over volume, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and quality assurance. Scherer’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and operational urgency rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the unit’s mission-critical infrastructure timelines. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical competence, compliance with DoD standards, and ability to meet stringent facility performance requirements. His primary industry focus is on NAICS 238290—Other Building Equipment Contractors—encompassing specialized contractors who install, maintain, and modernize integrated building systems such as ventilation, electrical distribution, plumbing infrastructure, and automated controls. Scherer’s expertise lies in procuring high-reliability equipment and services essential to sustaining airfield and command facility operations under demanding military standards.
