Alan E Fearns

Alan E. Fearns serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354th Contracting Squadron, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and operational support systems. His portfolio centers on procurement actions that ensure airfield readiness, facility integrity, and rapid deployment of mission-enabling services across remote and austere environments. Fearns specializes in managing firm-fixed-price and performance-based contracts aligned with preventive maintenance, industrial equipment servicing, and infrastructure resilience initiatives, consistently applying FAR principles to ensure compliance, accountability, and operational continuity. His primary contractor relationship is with Combat Medical Systems LLC, a Huntsville-based vendor providing specialized medical and operational support systems tailored to expeditionary force requirements. Fearns fosters long-term, performance-driven partnerships with vendors capable of delivering rapid-response solutions under dynamic operational conditions, emphasizing reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to military standards. His contracting approach prioritizes clear performance metrics, quality assurance protocols, and post-award oversight to maintain mission readiness. Fearns demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses with the capacity to deliver niche technical services critical to expeditionary operations, ensuring equitable access to DoD contracting opportunities while strengthening the industrial base. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 561492—Court Reporting and Stenotype Services—indicating a specialized need for accurate, real-time documentation and transcription services to support legal, investigative, or operational review functions within the facility’s mission assurance and compliance frameworks. This unique specialization underscores his expertise in procuring highly specialized administrative support services critical to maintaining audit trails and regulatory compliance in high-tempo aerospace operations.
