Charles B. Melvin

Charles B. Melvin serves as Director, Business Operations for FA4613 90 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the strategic procurement and contract management of critical infrastructure sustainment programs for missile field and launch facility operations. In this role, he ensures the continuous readiness of remote nuclear deterrence assets by directing acquisitions for facility modernization, utility maintenance, security systems, and command infrastructure upgrades. His portfolio centers on mission-critical, high-reliability projects requiring stringent compliance with defense standards and long-term operational resilience. Melvin’s leadership directly supports the agency’s mandate to preserve the integrity of the nation’s strategic deterrent infrastructure through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting. Melvin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These firms provide niche capabilities in remote facility sustainment, secure communications systems, and defense-grade environmental and safety compliance services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in austere, high-security environments, often leveraging performance-based contracts to ensure accountability and mission continuity across geographically dispersed sites. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (66.7%), Melvin demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation through HUBZone set-asides (33.3%), prioritizing firms located in economically distressed areas with demonstrated capacity to support remote defense operations. His socioeconomic contracting strategy aligns with DoD initiatives to expand the defense industrial base while fostering regional economic development through targeted small business engagement. Melvin’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 926110—Administration of General Economic Programs—reflecting his role in managing federally funded infrastructure sustainment rather than traditional defense hardware procurement. His expertise lies in overseeing complex, service-based contracts for facility operations, maintenance, security, and utility systems essential to the uninterrupted functioning of nuclear command and control sites.
