Aaron Waltersdorff

Aaron Waltersdorff serves as a Contracting Officer for the 436th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for managing acquisition strategies that sustain critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He oversees the procurement of facility maintenance, construction, and environmental remediation services essential to preserving hangar systems, aircraft support infrastructure, and security-critical facilities. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-aligned contracts governed by FAR Part 36 and tailored to meet the unique demands of military installation sustainability, ensuring compliance with federal standards while advancing mission resilience. Waltersdorff maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors, most notably Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in industrial surface preparation and facility restoration. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and performance-based outcomes, particularly in high-safety, high-compliance environments. He routinely engages with firms capable of executing integrated facility services under tight operational timelines and stringent military specifications. His procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with over 75% of his awards designated for small business set-asides. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses receive the largest share at 50%, followed by HUBZone firms at 25%, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to empowering veteran-owned and economically disadvantaged businesses. The remaining awards are distributed among general small business set-asides and open competitions, balancing compliance with mission necessity. Waltersdorff’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238210 (Electrical Contractors), which together account for more than 60% of his acquisitions. He also regularly procures services under 237310 (Highway/Street Construction), 238340 (Tile and Terrazzo), and 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting a broad expertise in facility systems maintenance, infrastructure rehabilitation, and environmental compliance. His domain knowledge spans HVAC integration, electrical system upgrades, hazardous material abatement, and structural restoration critical to Air Force installation resilience.
