Alton Hufstetler

Alton Hufstetler serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, medical support systems, and communications infrastructure essential to Air Force installation operations. His work ensures that base environments remain safe, functional, and technologically current, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle management of physical and technical assets. He routinely handles service contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, leveraging performance-based acquisition methods to align vendor deliverables with mission outcomes. Hufstetler maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, medical logistics, and technical support. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and sustained performance, often renewing contracts with vendors who demonstrate consistent quality and responsiveness to dynamic operational requirements. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 44.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster local economic resilience within the defense supply base. Hufstetler’s acquisitions concentrate on niche manufacturing and technical service sectors, with primary NAICS codes including 314110 (carpet and rug mills), 333415 (commercial HVAC systems), 334210 (telephone apparatus), 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing), and 511210 (software publishing). This reflects a specialized focus on facility fit-outs, climate control infrastructure, communications hardware, and mission-specific software solutions critical to Air Force base operations.
