Alfred J. Keetch

Alfred J. Keetch serves as a Contract Officer for the W6QM Micc-Dugway Proving Ground under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of high-precision instrumentation, calibration services, and specialized maintenance systems critical to chemical, biological, radiological, and electromagnetic testing operations. His procurement portfolio ensures the operational readiness and data integrity of field-deployed sensors and control systems used in classified and experimental environments. Keetch specializes in complex technical acquisitions requiring stringent compliance with military standards, often involving custom-engineered solutions for extreme environmental conditions and mission-critical validation protocols. He maintains sustained working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including FLOW SCIENCES, INC., STERILIZATION TECHNOLOGIES EQUIPMENT AND MAINTENANCE INC, CRFS, INC., AFFIGENT, LLC, and ENDIGIT INC. These contractors provide niche capabilities in sensor calibration, environmental system maintenance, RF and signal processing hardware, and integrated control system support. Keetch fosters collaborative, long-term partnerships with firms possessing deep domain expertise in defense-grade instrumentation, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in secure, high-reliability environments. Keetch demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of his acquisitions designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This consistent preference reflects a strategic emphasis on supporting veteran-owned enterprises with specialized technical capabilities aligned to Dugway’s mission. The remaining 25% of awards are non-set-aside, typically reserved for unique technical requirements where only a limited number of qualified sources exist. His primary NAICS focus lies in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), reflecting infrastructure support for test facilities, alongside significant activity in Electrical Contractors (238210), Plumbing and HVAC (238220), and specialized technical services under 517919 and 611699. These categories support the physical and operational backbone of proving ground infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration of mission-critical systems within secure, controlled environments.
