Khadijah Jones

SSgt Khadijah Jones serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA5422 406th Air Expeditionary Wing Construction unit, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to rapidly establish and sustain expeditionary infrastructure in austere environments. She manages acquisition activities for mission-critical facilities and enabling systems, including pre-engineered buildings, power generation, and lighting infrastructure essential for command, control, and force protection. Her role centers on executing time-sensitive, mission-driven contracts that ensure operational readiness for forward-deployed air operations, requiring precision in solicitation, evaluation, and contract administration under urgent deployment timelines. Jones maintains consistent contracting relationships with Golden Relief Resources Ltd and Hybrid Power International LLC, both of which provide specialized expeditionary solutions including modular facility systems and hybrid energy generation platforms. These vendor partnerships are characterized by proven technical reliability, rapid delivery capabilities, and deep expertise in military-grade, field-deployable infrastructure. Her procurement approach prioritizes vendors with demonstrated experience in expeditionary environments, favoring established contractors with proven track records in austere logistics and rapid construction. Jones’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a mission-critical emphasis on speed, scalability, and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the unit’s operational imperatives in time-constrained theaters. Her primary NAICS focus includes 517111 for wired telecommunications carriers, supporting secure command and control networks; 333998 for miscellaneous general-purpose machinery, encompassing mobile power and environmental control systems; and 335132 for commercial and institutional lighting fixtures, critical for perimeter security and operational visibility. Her expertise lies in procuring ruggedized, deployable systems engineered for extreme conditions, ensuring interoperability and resilience across expeditionary air operations.
