Lionel E. Junious

Lionel E. Junious serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical systems including communications equipment, facility modernization components, and specialized manufacturing outputs essential to maintaining airfield and installation resilience. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in HVAC, wastewater treatment, and secure broadcast infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with Air Force readiness objectives. Junious maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor for technical services and specialized manufacturing solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-adjacent manufacturing and communications systems, often engaging firms through competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and technical compliance, prioritizing contractors with demonstrated experience in military-grade specifications. While 75% of his acquisitions are open to all competitors, Junious actively promotes small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating a quarter of his portfolio to qualified small businesses. His socioeconomic contracting approach emphasizes equitable access without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, reflecting a balanced strategy that prioritizes capability and capacity over socioepic classifications. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing). This reflects deep technical expertise in procuring custom-engineered components, secure radio systems, and specialized medical and industrial equipment critical to base operations—spanning both conventional infrastructure and niche defense-support applications.
