Richard J. Jensen

Richard J. Jensen serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining air base infrastructure and operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts for facility systems, secure communications equipment, and mission-critical support services that ensure the resilience of air force installations. He specializes in construction-related services, environmental infrastructure, and technical equipment procurement aligned with Air Force modernization priorities, often coordinating across engineering, logistics, and facilities management teams to align acquisitions with strategic readiness goals. Jensen maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized technical and facility support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in mission-critical environments, particularly those capable of integrating secure communications systems and durable infrastructure components. He engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and compliance with military specifications. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small firms while maintaining quality and reliability in delivery. He frequently structures procurements to enable participation from service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and woman-owned small businesses, aligning with broader DoD socioeconomic goals. Jensen’s primary NAICS focus areas include 314999 for specialized textile products used in military enclosures and protective gear, 517410 for satellite telecommunications systems, and 337214/337215 for custom office and storage furniture designed for secure, high-density operational environments. He also procures through 423490 for professional-grade equipment distribution, demonstrating deep technical expertise in sourcing mission-specific hardware and integrated support systems tailored to austere and classified air force operations.
