Calvin R. Ishee

Calvin R. Ishee serves as a Contracts Administrator for FA3010 81 Cons Cc within the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure, medical, and communications systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for facility sustainment, diagnostic equipment, and mission-enabling technologies. Ishee plays a pivotal role in translating mission requirements into compliant, performance-based procurement strategies that align with Air Force modernization priorities, particularly in housing, medical support, and environmental systems. He maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, specialized vendors capable of delivering complex construction, maintenance, and technical services under stringent military standards. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established firms with proven track records in military facility upgrades and mission-critical system support, often involving integrated project delivery and performance-based service contracts. Ishee’s procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 30% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic alignment with Department of Defense objectives to foster competitive, diverse supplier networks, particularly among service-disabled veteran-owned and other small business concerns. His primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing, Medical Laboratories, and specialized services in telecommunications and facility maintenance. This reflects a technical domain expertise in procuring diagnostic medical equipment, IT peripherals for command and control systems, and maintenance services for aging infrastructure—ensuring that Air Force installations remain operationally resilient and technologically current.
