Charles R. Taylor

Charles R. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist at the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility, where he manages procurement activities critical to sustaining operational readiness at Joint Base Andrews. His role centers on acquiring integrated security systems, communications hardware, and facility support services essential to command, control, and communications (C3) infrastructure. Taylor handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based acquisitions for technical and logistical support, ensuring alignment with Air Force mission requirements for air operations and base resilience. He maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., reflecting a preference for specialized contractors capable of delivering environmental compliance, site remediation, and chemical handling services in sensitive military environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and technical specificity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that meet stringent DoD safety and operational standards. Taylor’s procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Women-Owned Small Businesses and general Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, he actively promotes small business participation through targeted outreach and structured evaluation criteria that incentivize capability over size. His primary NAICS focus lies in 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), where he procures airfield support services, followed by 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services). He also manages niche acquisitions under 339992 (Musical Instrument Manufacturing), indicating specialized procurement for ceremonial and command audiovisual systems. Taylor’s expertise spans infrastructure sustainment, security integration, and mission-critical facility operations, demonstrating deep technical fluency in DoD aviation support domains.
