Young J. Suh

Young J. Suh serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4419 agency of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical air base infrastructure and aerospace maintenance systems. Their work directly supports operational readiness by securing mission-critical equipment, industrial machinery, and facility support systems essential to aircraft sustainment and base utilities. Suh handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, balancing urgent operational needs with long-term modernization goals, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align procurement with technical specifications and lifecycle requirements. Suh maintains a consistent working relationship with Coordinated Defense Supply Systems, Inc., a trusted vendor providing specialized industrial equipment and logistics support for aerospace maintenance environments. The partnership reflects a preference for established contractors with proven capability in delivering complex, mission-essential components under tight operational timelines. While primary engagements center on established defense suppliers, Suh actively fosters collaborative vendor relationships that emphasize reliability, technical compliance, and rapid response to urgent sustainment demands. Suh’s contracting portfolio exhibits an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance. There is no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on broad-based small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while promoting resilience in the supplier base. The agency’s procurement activity is evenly distributed across four NAICS categories: Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (423830), Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing (336120), All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing (326199), and Religious Organizations (813110)—the latter likely reflecting ancillary or facility-related services. Suh’s expertise spans procurement of maintenance tools, vehicle fleets, engineered plastic components, and support services integral to airfield and hangar operations, reflecting deep technical familiarity with aerospace logistics and infrastructure sustainment domains.
