Louis Fossesca Jr

Louis Fossesca Jr. serves as Chief of the Operational Contracting Office at the 910th Air Wing Logistics Center, Yongsan-Warners Airfield, under the Department of the Air Force. In this leadership role, he oversees the full lifecycle of mission-critical procurement activities supporting airfield infrastructure sustainment, utility system modernization, and protective security services. His office manages complex acquisitions for construction, maintenance, and specialized engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness and airfield resilience. Fossesca ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting strategies with the Air Force’s strategic imperatives for infrastructure reliability and force protection. Fossesca maintains established working relationships with key contractors such as Charter Communications Operating LLC, reflecting a focus on communications infrastructure and integrated logistics support. His office cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, technical expertise in military-grade systems, and adherence to stringent security protocols. These relationships are strategically developed to ensure continuity of service delivery across high-priority, mission-essential projects requiring rapid response and technical precision. Fossesca demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a majority of his office’s acquisitions set aside for small businesses—66.7% under FAR 19.5 and 33.3% specifically reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to foster competitive small business participation while ensuring access to qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized services in secure, high-stakes environments. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 315990 (Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing) and 315990 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing), indicating a unique emphasis on protective gear, specialized uniform systems, and chemical application products used in airfield de-icing, corrosion control, and perimeter security. This technical domain requires deep understanding of military-specification materials, environmental compliance, and safety standards, positioning Fossesca as a specialist in niche, mission-critical supply chains supporting aviation operational integrity.
