Justin R. Mauser

Justin R. Mauser serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Army’s 0409 Aq Hq Contract office, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical infrastructure and operational support services for U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His portfolio encompasses facility maintenance, specialized construction, and equipment servicing essential to sustaining military readiness in Europe and other deployed environments. He executes procurements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring compliance with mission-critical timelines and technical specifications for airfields, utilities, buildings, and logistics infrastructure. His work directly enables the Army’s force projection and installation resilience objectives through strategic contract execution and risk mitigation. Mauser maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., partnering with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned services across global theaters. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, requiring robust technical proposals and proven operational experience in military environments. He frequently engages vendors with established track records in military facility sustainment, industrial equipment repair, and expeditionary construction, fostering long-term contractual partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate, if modest, commitment to small business participation. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he ensures small businesses are included in prime and subcontracting roles where feasible, aligning with broader Army socioeconomic goals. Mauser’s primary procurement focus lies in engineering services (NAICS 541330), research and development in physical sciences (541715), and commercial/industrial machinery repair (811310), alongside painting and wall covering contractors (238320). His technical domain expertise centers on facility infrastructure, maintenance of mission-critical equipment, and professional technical services supporting garrison operations—requiring deep familiarity with military standards, environmental regulations, and expeditionary construction methodologies.
