Capt. Lochlin Deeks

Lochlin Deeks serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc, a civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment unit under the Department of the Air Force. Responsible for managing acquisitions that support the operational readiness of Air Force installations, Deeks oversees contracts for critical facility systems including HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing networks, and structural maintenance. Their work directly enables mission-critical infrastructure resilience, ensuring that base facilities meet safety, efficiency, and compliance standards. Deeks typically handles complex service and construction-related procurements under FAR Part 36, often coordinating with civil engineering teams to align contracting actions with long-term facility modernization plans. Deeks maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a specialized contractor providing boiler systems, steam generation, and thermal energy infrastructure services. This recurring partnership reflects a preference for vendors with deep technical expertise in facility utility systems, particularly those capable of delivering maintenance, retrofit, and compliance-driven upgrades. The contracting pattern suggests a focus on reliability, long-term performance, and mission-critical system integrity, with an emphasis on vendors who can deliver under tight operational timelines and stringent safety protocols. Deeks demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small, locally-based firms with proven capabilities in facility maintenance and utility services, aligning with DoD’s socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside categories are specified beyond total small business, the consistent use of this tool underscores a dedication to expanding opportunities for small contractors in defense infrastructure markets. The procurement portfolio is concentrated in three NAICS categories: 611710 (educational support services), 488190 (air transportation support), and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing). These reflect a blend of facility operations support, airfield utility infrastructure, and specialized electrical components critical to base functionality. Deeks’ expertise lies at the intersection of civil engineering, utility systems, and facility sustainment, ensuring acquisitions align with both technical requirements and mission-critical readiness standards.
