Daniel Ellingsen

Dan Ellingsen serves as Lead Contract Specialist for FA6712 911 Aw Lgc within the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition and management of facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to Air Force Reserve Command readiness. His portfolio centers on construction, maintenance, and logistics support for facilities at the 911th Airlift Wing in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, with a focus on HVAC repairs, roofing, pavement, and industrial equipment servicing. Ellingsen applies full lifecycle contracting expertise to ensure compliance with federal regulations while aligning procurements with strategic readiness goals. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including M-B Companies, Inc., Elite Veteran Solutions, LLC, EnviroServe Inc., and Milkie Lawn & Garden Service Inc., reflecting a preference for established small business partners with proven capabilities in facility maintenance and environmental services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and quality assurance across high-priority infrastructure projects. Ellingsen demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 53% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly one-third reserved for HUBZone firms. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and women-owned small businesses also receive targeted consideration, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to promote equitable access and veteran economic empowerment in federal contracting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), with significant activity in poured concrete foundations and grounds maintenance services. This reflects deep technical expertise in facility infrastructure lifecycle management, including compliance with environmental standards and military construction codes. Ellingsen’s work ensures that critical Air Force Reserve assets remain operational, safe, and mission-ready through disciplined, small business-driven acquisition strategies.
