MK1 JUSTIN MULLINAX

Mk1 Justin Mullinax serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth (70Z027), responsible for managing construction-related acquisitions that sustain mission-critical infrastructure. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain and modernize barracks, stations, and logistics facilities while ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards. Mullinax specializes in design-build and renovation contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a consistent focus on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems essential to facility resilience. He leads the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with strategic infrastructure priorities. Mullinax maintains strong, recurring partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including A TO B CREATIONS INC, PARLIAMENT LLC, DOORS ON DEMAND, LLC, SANDOW CONSTRUCTION INC, and VISION CONTRACTING INC. These vendors are frequently selected for their proven expertise in commercial and government-grade HVAC, plumbing, and building systems integration. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable firms with demonstrated experience in federal facility upgrades, fostering reliable, long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance history and regulatory compliance. All of Mullinax’s acquisitions are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He consistently awards contracts to small business concerns without regard to specific designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, prioritizing overall small business participation as a core procurement principle. This approach ensures broad opportunity across the small business community while maintaining technical rigor and accountability. His technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—making him a specialist in mechanical systems procurement for federal facilities. He routinely acquires services related to HVAC replacement, pipe retrofitting, ductwork installation, and energy-efficient system upgrades, demonstrating deep familiarity with ANSI, ASHRAE, and NFPA standards governing Coast Guard infrastructure.
