Bennie Simmons

Bennie Simmons serves as a secondary procurement support role within the FA4661 7 Cons Cd, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing installation infrastructure to ensure mission readiness. Though not a primary contracting officer, Simmons provides essential coordination and administrative support for facility sustainment, maintenance, and mission-enabling acquisitions. Their work underpins the agency’s efforts to maintain airfield systems, utility networks, HVAC, and electrical infrastructure across both garrison and expeditionary environments, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and timely execution of service contracts. While no primary contractor relationships are currently documented, Simmons collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors supporting facility operations, including firms specializing in industrial machinery repair, security systems integration, and aeronautical instrumentation. Their role facilitates vendor engagement across multiple technical domains, ensuring alignment with Air Force standards and operational requirements. Working closely with primary contracting teams, Simmons helps streamline proposal evaluations, contract administration, and performance monitoring for mission-critical services. Simmons operates within a procurement environment that prioritizes small business participation, with over 54% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 2.9% designated for women-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified small vendors. The absence of large set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms suggests a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. The agency’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to security systems services, aeronautical system manufacturing, machine tool production, and commercial/industrial machinery repair and maintenance. These reflect a technical emphasis on infrastructure resilience, maintenance of mission-critical equipment, and support for aerospace-grade systems. Simmons’ expertise lies in facilitating acquisitions that ensure the operational continuity of Air Force installations through precision-engineered services and durable, mission-ready infrastructure solutions.
