Andrew Philson

Andrew D. Philson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and technical support services essential to Air Force operational readiness. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facilities maintenance, cybersecurity-enabling systems, and engineering services, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. His portfolio centers on sustaining and modernizing physical and cyber-enabled infrastructure across Air Force installations, with a focus on high-reliability environments requiring strict security and performance standards. Philson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large and mid-tier firms specializing in technical engineering, facility construction, and mission support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure deliverables meet stringent Air Force operational requirements. His procurement patterns demonstrate a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured under socioeconomic set-asides. He regularly utilizes Total Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides, each accounting for 13.3% of his awards, alongside HUBZone opportunities. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of targeted set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on expanding vendor diversity and fostering resilient small business ecosystems.
