Charles M Frerich

Charles M. Frerich serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisition programs that sustain critical airfield and installation infrastructure. His portfolio encompasses construction, maintenance, and logistical support services essential to operational readiness and mission-critical aviation functions. He executes procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, primarily handling construction, engineering, and specialized support contracts that ensure the integrity and functionality of Air Force bases. His work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing facilities and maintaining resilient infrastructure to support national defense objectives. Frerich maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and geospatial support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in airfield infrastructure and geospatial data integration. These partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing technical proficiency, safety compliance, and timely delivery in high-stakes operational environments. His set-aside preferences reveal a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting: while 64.3% of awards are unrestricted, he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (28.6%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides (7.1%). This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small and veteran-owned firms without compromising mission-critical requirements. Frerich’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in airfield support systems, transportation infrastructure, and specialized mechanical equipment. He frequently procures services related to airfield pavement maintenance, geospatial surveying, compressor systems for base utilities, and landscaping for installation sustainability—demonstrating a technical command over the intersection of civil engineering and aviation logistics.
