Richard R Jiron

Richard R. Jiron serves as Flight Chief at FA4613 90 Cons Pk within the Department of the Air Force, where he leads acquisition efforts critical to sustaining missile field and launch facility infrastructure. His role encompasses managing complex contracts for construction, maintenance, and specialized equipment procurement to ensure the operational readiness and nuclear deterrence posture of remote defense sites. Jiron oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirement validation and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing on mission-critical infrastructure resilience and modernization. His acquisitions directly support the Air Force’s strategic imperative to maintain secure, reliable, and survivable nuclear command and control capabilities. Jiron maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including OLGOONIK SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SAFEWARE INC., each of which provides specialized engineering, technical support, and facility sustainment services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that emphasize reliability, security compliance, and rapid response in austere environments. His procurement approach favors vendors with proven expertise in remote site operations and defense-grade engineering standards. While the majority of his acquisitions (70.6%) are unrestricted, Jiron demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately 29.4% of awards directed toward set-asides including Total Small Business, 8(a), and HUBZone programs. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy that prioritizes mission need while fostering economic opportunity among qualified small and disadvantaged businesses. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair). These categories reflect his technical domain expertise in civil infrastructure, power systems, and mechanical maintenance for hardened, geographically dispersed defense installations.
