Chuck Bishop

Chuck Bishop serves as a Contracting Officer for the 436th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical facility maintenance and infrastructure services essential to sustaining air base operational readiness. His portfolio centers on mission-critical construction and maintenance contracts that ensure the functionality of aircraft support systems, hangar facilities, and security infrastructure. Bishop specializes in service-based procurements governed by FAR Part 36, with a focus on performance-based contracting and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to support dynamic, installation-wide requirements. He maintains a consistent working relationship with Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc., a key contractor delivering specialized surface preparation and coating services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven experience in military facility environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery of mission-essential work. Bishop demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, evenly distributing contract opportunities among Total Small Business Set-Asides, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Asides, and open competitions without set-asides. This approach reflects a deliberate strategy to ensure broad vendor access while maintaining competitive integrity and mission alignment under FAR Part 19. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), where he oversees complex surface treatment and corrosion control projects vital to facility longevity. He also manages NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors) acquisitions for wiring and lighting system upgrades. His technical expertise spans military construction standards, environmental compliance, and facility sustainment protocols, positioning him as a specialist in maintaining the physical resilience of Air Force installations through targeted, high-integrity contracting.
