Daniel Pankratz

Daniel Pankratz serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-enabling systems. He oversees contracts critical to maintaining airfield readiness, facility integrity, and operational resilience across remote and forward-deployed locations. His portfolio primarily includes construction, facilities support services, and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring compliance with military standards for durability and rapid deployment. Pankratz plays a central role in aligning contracting actions with the agency’s strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization and preventive maintenance. He maintains a consistent working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized systems and support services tailored to expeditionary environments. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade construction and industrial equipment, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with defense specifications. Pankratz exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside preferences are designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition within the defense supply base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 339950 (Sign Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in facility infrastructure and operational signage systems. He also regularly procures facilities support services (561210), commercial machinery leasing (532490), and specialized transportation equipment (336999), underscoring a technical domain rooted in expeditionary logistics, maintenance readiness, and mission-critical facility sustainment.
