Jason E. Horlacher

Jason E. Horlacher supports the procurement mission of the FA4427 60 Cons Lgc, a specialized unit within the Department of the Air Force, by managing acquisitions of critical medical, technical, and demonstration equipment essential to air force training and operational readiness. His work centers on securing electromedical instruments, surgical supplies, analytical laboratory systems, and specialized infrastructure to sustain medical support and public engagement programs. He handles complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and mission-critical performance standards for high-reliability systems used in austere and expeditionary environments. Horlacher maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CW3RET ENTERPRISE LLC and CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES RESOURCES, INC., both of which provide specialized medical devices, technical integration services, and facility support solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical expertise, and timely delivery of mission-essential equipment, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid turnaround requirements for field-deployable systems. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 63.9% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a robust 36.1% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a deliberate strategy to leverage small business innovation without compromising mission-critical capabilities, aligning with Air Force goals for socioeconomic diversity and supply chain resilience. Horlacher’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in electromedical and clinical equipment. He also oversees acquisitions in electrical contracting (238210) and commercial machinery repair (811310), underscoring a technical portfolio that bridges clinical, logistical, and infrastructure domains to support both medical readiness and aerial demonstration operations.
