Andrew Rhoades

Andrew serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4686 9 Cons Pk, a critical support unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining installation infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and mission-critical equipment support, ensuring Air Force bases remain fully functional and resilient. His work spans both preventive and reactive service contracts, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle management of industrial systems, climate control infrastructure, and specialty trade services. Andrew’s acquisitions directly enable mission continuity by securing timely, compliant, and high-quality support services across a wide array of technical domains. Andrew maintains an active working relationship with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a primary contractor delivering specialized maintenance and support services aligned with the agency’s infrastructure priorities. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence, particularly in technical service delivery. He frequently engages with contractors capable of rapid response, preventive maintenance execution, and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize mission-critical uptime and operational continuity. Andrew demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 80% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business industrial base capable of supporting Air Force facility sustainment needs. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, ensuring equitable access to opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies within five NAICS categories: commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturing (333415), temporary help services (561320), specialty trade contracting (238990), and motor vehicle body manufacturing (336211). These reflect deep technical expertise in facility systems maintenance, climate control infrastructure, skilled labor deployment, and specialized vehicle support—domains critical to sustaining Air Force base operations.
