Justin Powell

Justin Powell serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain critical military infrastructure and advanced aerospace systems. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility modernization, aviation component procurement, and specialized sensing technologies, ensuring Air Force installations maintain operational readiness through timely and compliant contracting actions. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance base resilience and modernize mission-critical assets, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS regulations, performance-based acquisition methods, and lifecycle sustainment contracting. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available, Powell engages with a broad spectrum of vendors—including small businesses, general contractors, and technical service providers—focusing on performance-driven outcomes and mission-aligned deliverables. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure accountability and mission success across geographically dispersed Air Force installations. Powell demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster broad vendor participation. He routinely awards contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to promote equitable access and workforce diversity. His pattern of set-asides underscores a proactive effort to expand the supplier base and strengthen community partnerships. His primary NAICS focus includes security systems services, commercial and industrial machinery repair, and automotive maintenance—indicating a heavy emphasis on facility support, logistics sustainment, and installation-level infrastructure services. Though some classifications appear atypical for a defense context, they reflect the granular nature of base operations contracting, where everything from vehicle maintenance to perimeter security systems contributes to mission readiness. Powell’s expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with practical, on-site execution needs across Air Force installations.
