Albert Thompson Jr. serves as a Contract Specialist within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility maintenance, utilities modernization, and technical support services essential to national security space operations. His portfolio primarily includes construction, engineering, and specialized operational support contracts, ensuring the resilience and readiness of launch and test site infrastructure. Thompson Jr. applies rigorous acquisition governance under FAR and DFARS to deliver mission-critical capabilities while maintaining compliance with federal contracting standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT, TECH O. R., LLC, and KING FREIGHT LLC, each providing specialized services in site development, environmental compliance, technical support, and logistics. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in defense infrastructure environments, fostering long-term partnerships that prioritize reliability, safety, and mission alignment. These relationships are built on performance-based contracting and strict adherence to quality assurance protocols. Thompson Jr.’s set-aside strategy is predominantly non-set-aside, with 83.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and urgency of infrastructure requirements. However, he consistently allocates 16.7% of opportunities to Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a targeted commitment to socioeconomic diversity without compromising mission needs. His approach balances competitive rigor with intentional inclusion, aligning with DoD goals for equitable small business engagement. His primary NAICS focus areas—237120 (Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors)—reflect his specialization in mission-critical utilities and facility systems. He procures services related to HVAC integration, electrical distribution, hazardous material abatement, and infrastructure modernization, requiring deep technical understanding of DoD facility standards and space launch site operational constraints.
