Zebadiah P Meador

Zebadiah Meador serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, supporting the sustainment of operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and technical support services. While not a primary contracting officer, Meador plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for specialized equipment and infrastructure support essential to naval and marine force readiness. Their work centers on ensuring timely procurement of repair, maintenance, and technical services across expeditionary and garrison environments, with a focus on maintaining combat system reliability and mission-enabling capabilities. Meador maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced providers capable of delivering niche technical services, including electronic system maintenance, specialized repair, and mission-critical infrastructure support. The working relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a reliance on vendors with proven expertise in naval-grade equipment sustainment and rapid-response logistics. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 73.1% of acquisitions issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, 26.9% of contracts are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authority (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational urgency or technical specificity. The procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories including 811490 (other personal and household goods repair and maintenance), 333249 (other commercial and service industry machinery manufacturing), and 517919 (other telecommunications), reflecting expertise in specialized equipment servicing, electronic component repair, and mission-critical communications infrastructure. These categories underscore a technical domain centered on sustaining complex, non-standardized naval systems requiring precision maintenance and rapid turnaround.
