Beau J. Burton

Beau J. Burton supports the procurement mission of FA4801 49 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to aerospace readiness and installation sustainment. His work centers on securing advanced communications systems, avionics instrumentation, and electronic warfare support equipment essential to operational airpower. He handles complex contract actions involving technical specifications for mission-critical systems, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities and infrastructure resilience requirements. His procurement portfolio spans both commercial off-the-shelf and specialized defense-grade technologies, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Burton maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors including UNICO GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, LLC, FSR CONSULTING LLC, and CERTIFIED STAINLESS SERVICE INC., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in aerospace support, maintenance, and instrumentation. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and long-term service continuity, often renewing engagements with vendors who demonstrate compliance with military-grade standards and rapid response capacity. These partnerships are typically performance-based, with a focus on lifecycle support and system integration rather than one-time procurements. A strong commitment to small business participation defines his socioeconomic contracting strategy, with over 55% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes small business participation through targeted set-asides, including consistent use of Women-Owned Small Business and SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged WOSB programs, each accounting for 2.6% of awards. This reflects a deliberate effort to broaden the supplier base while ensuring competitive, compliant sourcing aligned with DoD small business goals. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334515 for instrumentation manufacturing related to electrical signal testing, complemented by procurement in audio/video equipment (334310), industrial machinery repair (811310), and construction machinery (333120). These categories indicate expertise in acquiring precision test equipment, surveillance system components, and maintenance services critical to sustaining airfield and avionics infrastructure.
