Charles C Berry

Charles C. Berry supports the procurement mission of the Department of the Air Force’s FA5205 35 Cons Pk unit by managing critical acquisitions that sustain airfield and base infrastructure operations. He oversees contracts for communications systems, auxiliary aircraft components, and facility maintenance services essential to operational readiness. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and mission-critical timelines. Berry’s portfolio centers on complex, mission-dependent procurements requiring coordination with engineering, logistics, and maintenance teams to deliver reliable, secure, and interoperable capabilities across domestic and deployed environments. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC and AMERICAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION, both of which provide specialized services in security systems, specialty trade contracting, and aircraft component support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in defense-grade infrastructure and mission-critical systems. Berry’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering stable, results-driven supplier relationships. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 9.1% are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. While socioeconomic set-asides are not the primary vehicle, he ensures small businesses are competitively positioned within the broader acquisition landscape. Berry’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in secure communications infrastructure, non-standard aircraft components, and specialized industrial equipment. He routinely procures encrypted radio systems, field-deployable maintenance tools, and mission-specific auxiliary hardware, demonstrating technical fluency in defense electronics and infrastructure sustainment domains.
