Uriah Hinton

Uriah Hinton serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the FA4803 20 Cons Lgca, a Department of the Air Force organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure. Though not a lead contracting officer, Hinton plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for facility-related construction and maintenance services. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness through the procurement of commercial and institutional building systems, including HVAC, roofing, and plumbing infrastructure, often under time-sensitive and mission-critical timelines. Hinton maintains a consistent working relationship with Carolina Ground Service Equipment Inc., a key vendor providing specialized ground support equipment and related maintenance services essential to airfield operations. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, niche contractors with proven technical capabilities in military facility support, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements. Hinton’s acquisition portfolio is fully aligned with small business set-aside preferences, with 100% of procurements designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs that enhance diversity in the defense industrial base. The agency’s procurement activity is narrowly focused on NAICS 325920—Explosives Manufacturing—indicating specialized demand for hazardous materials handling systems, secure storage infrastructure, and detonation-safe construction services. This technical domain requires stringent adherence to Department of Defense explosive safety standards, and Hinton’s role ensures compliance with federal explosives regulations while supporting mission-critical infrastructure upgrades across Air Force installations.
