Timothy N. Huling

Timothy N. Huling serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition and sustainment of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. His portfolio centers on ensuring the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure. Huling executes full-cycle contracting actions—including solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration—primarily for complex, mission-critical logistics and support services tied to air and space domain sustainment. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s modernization objectives and long-term readiness goals. Huling’s contractor relationships are characterized by engagements with specialized aerospace and defense logistics providers capable of delivering technical sustainment, maintenance, and system integration services for classified and unclassified space and missile platforms. He works closely with vendors possessing Tier 1 defense contractor credentials and deep domain expertise in aerospace systems lifecycle support, often partnering with firms that maintain ITAR compliance and secure facility clearances. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk-mitigated acquisition strategies to ensure mission continuity. Huling’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. While he does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with federal socioeconomic requirements and prioritizes competitive fairness and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 481212, Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation, reflecting his specialization in the rapid, secure, and often time-sensitive air transport of sensitive aerospace components, spare parts, and mission-critical equipment across global theaters. This underscores his technical expertise in expeditionary logistics, defense transportation networks, and the unique regulatory frameworks governing military air mobility operations.
