Collin G. Ewell

Collin G. Ewell serves as a Contact Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of Vandenberg Space Force Base’s critical space launch and test infrastructure. In this role, he manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on facility sustainment, utilities maintenance, and mission-critical support services. His responsibilities include executing solicitations, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations to maintain the physical and technical readiness of national security space operations. Ewell routinely handles construction, maintenance, and technical service acquisitions essential to sustaining aging infrastructure under the Space Systems Command’s modernization priorities. Ewell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized equipment. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging vendors with proven capability in mission-essential, non-commodity services requiring precise coordination with operational teams. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery to support uninterrupted space mission cycles. Ewell’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 14.3% designated as 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged businesses while maintaining flexibility through no-set-aside actions for urgent or highly specialized requirements. His approach aligns with DoD mandates to foster competitive, resilient small business ecosystems in critical infrastructure support sectors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in commercial building construction (236220), landscaping (561730), and automotive repair (811111). This technical domain expertise ensures he effectively manages the lifecycle support of mission-critical facilities, integrating HVAC, electrical, and environmental systems to sustain operational readiness in austere, high-security environments.
