Cory T. Beal

Cory T. Beal supports the procurement mission of the FA4855 27th Security Forces Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, managing critical acquisitions that sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. His work centers on securing construction, communications, and facility support services essential to maintaining mission-critical environments, including HVAC systems, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and secure electronic communications equipment. Beal handles complex contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal standards while aligning procurements with the Air Force’s modernization and resilience priorities. He maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a key contractor providing specialized technical services in facility systems and mission support. Beal’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade infrastructure and communications, often engaging firms capable of delivering integrated solutions under tight operational timelines. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk mitigation through rigorous vendor evaluation and contract administration. Beal demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable portion awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. While approximately half of his portfolio remains open to all competitors, his socioeconomic strategy actively promotes opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses, reflecting a balanced yet intentional approach to fostering vendor diversity without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus spans NAICS categories including electronic computer manufacturing, measuring and controlling device manufacturing, and commercial machinery repair and maintenance. He routinely acquires specialized electronic systems, precision instrumentation, and industrial equipment critical to base operations, demonstrating technical fluency in defense-related hardware and embedded systems. Beal’s expertise lies at the intersection of facility sustainment and secure technology integration, ensuring that infrastructure investments directly enhance operational capability and long-term resilience.
