Charles D. Thompson

Charles D. Thompson serves as an Install Air Balancing Trainer within the FA3020 82 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical facility systems. In this specialized role, he facilitates technical training and operational readiness for air balancing systems integral to HVAC infrastructure across Air Force installations. His procurement activities center on acquiring precision environmental control equipment, automated monitoring devices, and integrated mechanical systems that ensure optimal air flow, thermal regulation, and indoor air quality in operational facilities. Thompson’s work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain resilient, energy-efficient base environments through technically sound, performance-based acquisitions. Thompson maintains consistent working relationships with VALIANT PRODUCTS CORPORATION and LOGISTICS365 INC, both of which provide specialized HVAC components, calibration tools, and facility support services. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor collaboration on technical specifications, installation compliance, and post-deployment training support. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in commercial-grade environmental control systems and field-service capabilities aligned with Air Force facility standards. Thompson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 77.8% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He routinely prioritizes small business participation, particularly among firms certified as HUBZone or service-disabled veteran-owned, ensuring broad access to contracting opportunities while maintaining technical rigor. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to strengthen the defense industrial base through inclusive procurement practices. His primary NAICS focus includes 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 334512 (Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing), reflecting his specialization in automated air balancing sensors, damper controls, and precision airflow instrumentation. He also engages with manufacturers in 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing) and 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building Components), indicating a technical domain spanning integrated mechanical systems and facility infrastructure. His expertise lies at the intersection of building automation, HVAC performance validation, and compliance-driven procurement.
