Benjamin J. Burris

Benjamin J. Burris serves as a Contracting Specialist within the 94th Contracting Flight at FA6703, Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical infrastructure and facility services essential to Air Force installation readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for commercial and institutional construction, roofing, and related facility support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical standards. His work directly supports the modernization of air base environments, including energy resilience initiatives, utility system upgrades, and environmental compliance efforts, aligning acquisitions with the Air Force’s strategic imperatives for sustainment and operational continuity. Burris maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including K.C. Electrical Construction, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, MSAB, LLC, Hollek Engineering LLC, and Federal Contracts LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in airfield and institutional construction, electrical systems, and site development. His contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical competence and contractual accountability. His procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a focus on selecting the most qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and compliant with all federal small business participation requirements, ensuring equitable access while prioritizing mission needs. Burris specializes in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), with nearly equal emphasis on both categories. He procures comprehensive facility services including structural upgrades, roofing systems, HVAC integration, and site preparation, requiring deep technical understanding of building codes, energy-efficient construction methods, and military facility standards. His domain expertise centers on mission-critical infrastructure that supports sustained operational readiness across Air Force installations.
