Justin Mason

Justin Mason serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing acquisitions in support of air transportation operations, with a primary focus on niche logistical and technical support services. Though his formal title is not publicly designated, his role is central to ensuring the agency’s aviation infrastructure receives timely, compliant, and mission-critical support. He handles a range of contract actions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, primarily soliciting services related to airfield operations, ground support equipment maintenance, and aviation logistics coordination. His acquisitions are structured to align with federal aviation standards and operational readiness requirements, emphasizing performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Mason’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized air transportation support services. He works closely with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative partnerships that emphasize technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and rapid response capabilities. His contracting approach favors clear performance metrics and quality assurance protocols to ensure service continuity in high-stakes aviation environments. Mason demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with exactly half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions without set-asides. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maintain market competition while actively promoting small business participation. He does not favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but rather prioritizes broad-based small business eligibility under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated on NAICS 488190—Other Support Activities for Air Transportation—indicating deep technical expertise in airfield services, aircraft handling, ground support, and aviation logistics. He procures services including ramp operations, fueling support, baggage handling systems, and maintenance of air traffic support equipment, ensuring alignment with FAA and DOT operational standards.
