Alex P. Harris

Alex P. Harris serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. In this role, Harris manages the full lifecycle of facility-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. His portfolio primarily encompasses maintenance, repair, and upgrade services for mission-critical building systems—including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure—as well as grounds maintenance and specialized facility enhancements. Harris plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting actions with the agency’s mission to uphold operational readiness and quality of life for Air Force personnel through reliable, resilient infrastructure. Harris maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC, and ACTION CONSTRUCTION AUSTIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally based firms capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive facility services under performance-based contracting frameworks. His approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to safety and compliance standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear scope definition and rigorous performance evaluation. Harris demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to full and open competition. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to promote small business participation while maintaining flexibility to secure specialized capabilities. He actively leverages small business programs to expand the pool of qualified vendors without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting a significant portion of lodging and hospitality-related facility support, alongside niche areas such as locksmith services (561622), air and gas compressor manufacturing (333912), and office furniture manufacturing (337214). This diverse technical profile reveals expertise in managing both traditional facility services and specialized equipment procurement essential to installation operations.
