Clifford W. Nicholson

Clifford W. Nicholson supports the procurement mission of the FA3010 81 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure and medical support systems. He oversees contracts for facility maintenance, environmental systems, and diagnostic equipment essential to Air Force operational readiness. His portfolio emphasizes capital improvement projects, equipment leasing, and ambulatory health services, ensuring that aging barracks, housing, and medical facilities meet mission-critical standards. Nicholson’s work directly enables force readiness by securing reliable, compliant, and technologically current resources across diverse operational environments. He maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for experienced, niche providers capable of delivering specialized construction, maintenance, and monitoring services tailored to military-grade requirements. Nicholson’s contracting approach prioritizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, often engaging vendors with proven track records in defense-sector infrastructure and medical support. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among qualified small and veteran-owned firms, particularly those with expertise in construction and medical services. Nicholson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), supporting the acquisition of specialized diagnostic, environmental, and facility systems. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 621999 (Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services) and NAICS 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing), reflecting deep technical expertise in medical logistics and diagnostic supply chains. His domain knowledge spans infrastructure resilience, medical equipment lifecycle management, and mission-critical environmental controls.
