379 Econs

379 Econs serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5702 unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure contracts critical to expeditionary air base operations. Their role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services that maintain airfield integrity, support facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure at overseas and forward-deployed locations. They oversee the full lifecycle of construction-related procurements—from needs assessment and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Air Force installation standards. Their acquisitions directly enable the continuity of flight operations, logistics support, and force protection capabilities. Contractor relationships are primarily with general contractors and specialty construction firms capable of executing complex facility sustainment projects under austere conditions. While no specific vendors are dominant in their portfolio, the procurement pattern reflects a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated expertise in military construction, rapid deployment infrastructure, and modular facility systems. Working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance oversight, adherence to military construction codes, and close coordination with civil engineering and facilities management teams to align deliverables with operational timelines. 379 Econs exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of procurements conducted as full and open competitions. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and schedule reliability over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on past performance, capacity, and compliance with military construction standards. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing new construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance of hangars, barracks, control towers, utilities infrastructure, and other mission-support facilities. Technical expertise lies in military-grade construction methodologies, environmental compliance, and rapid-response infrastructure solutions tailored to expeditionary environments.
