Brian D. Averhart

Brian D. Averhart serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force under the FA4484 designation, supporting mission-critical infrastructure sustainment and operational readiness at military installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical service contracts essential to air base functionality, with a focus on facility modernization, environmental compliance, and readiness-enabling services. His acquisitions span facility systems, industrial services, and specialized construction work, ensuring airfield and support infrastructure remain operational under stringent DoD standards. Averhart’s role is central to translating mission requirements into executable contract actions that align with Air Force sustainment priorities. He maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capacity in facility maintenance, industrial services, and technical support. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures, indicating a focus on reliability, quality control, and long-term service delivery over transactional procurement. Averhart exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with half of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 12.5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His contracting patterns reflect deliberate socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business inclusion while maintaining operational integrity through competitive, performance-driven solicitations. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812332 (industrial laundries), 333112 (lawn and garden equipment manufacturing), 711211 (sports teams and clubs), and 238320 (painting and wall covering contractors). While some categories appear atypical for a military installation, they reflect niche support services critical to base operations—such as laundry for uniform sustainment, specialized coating applications for corrosion control, and facility amenities tied to quality-of-life and readiness initiatives. His expertise bridges conventional construction with unexpected but mission-essential service domains.
