Daniel B. Young

Daniel B. Young serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4484 87 Cons Pk organization, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to air base operational readiness. His responsibilities include soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for maintenance, construction, and technical services that sustain airfield systems, environmental compliance, and facility modernization initiatives. Young works within the full lifecycle of procurement, ensuring adherence to FAR guidelines and DoD acquisition policies, with a focus on high-priority projects that support aircraft readiness and installation resilience. He maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC, who consistently deliver complex facility upgrades, utility system repairs, and technical support services. These partnerships reflect a pattern of repeat engagement with firms experienced in military installation environments, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and performance in constrained operational settings. Young 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, alongside a notable proportion of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense community while maintaining competitive rigor and mission alignment. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, 221310 for water supply and irrigation systems, and 711510 for independent technical and performance-based services. These reflect a specialized domain in facility systems maintenance, environmental utilities, and mission-support technical services critical to sustaining Air Force installations.
