A staunch advocate for small business participation, Gravelle prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 81% of his awards designated for small businesses. He also actively utilizes HUBZone set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting and geographic economic development. His approach aligns with Department of the Air Force goals to expand vendor diversity and strengthen local supply chain resilience. His primary NAICS focus areas include 423850 for service establishment equipment and supplies, 541513 for computer facilities management services, and 327390 for concrete product manufacturing. These reflect his technical expertise in procuring integrated security infrastructure, IT support services, and facility-related construction materials. Gravelle’s work ensures that the base’s physical and technological assets remain fully operational, secure, and aligned with evolving Air Force mission requirements.
