Calvin S. Hickman serves as a contracting professional within the FA4460 19 Cons Pka unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in securing facility services and infrastructure support essential to Air Force operational readiness. His procurement portfolio centers on maintenance, construction, and utility system upgrades that sustain base environments for personnel and mission-critical assets. He manages a diverse range of acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on service-based contracts that ensure the resilience and functionality of airfield, roadway, and environmental infrastructure systems. Mr. Hickman maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized facility services and construction support.
