Darrell Gonzalez-McFadden

Darrell Gonzalez-McFadden serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. Their work centers on facility construction, building systems integration, and operational support services, with a focus on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural construction for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Gonzalez-McFadden ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain mission-ready infrastructure through timely, efficient, and compliant contracting practices. Gonzalez-McFadden maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for complex facility upgrades and site development projects. Their procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance reliability, regulatory compliance, and technical expertise in construction and infrastructure support services. Collaborations are characterized by repeat engagement and performance-based contract management, reinforcing trust and operational continuity across multi-year project cycles. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Gonzalez-McFadden’s contracting strategy, with 82.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. HUBZone set-asides account for an additional 5.9%, underscoring support for businesses in economically distressed areas. This pattern demonstrates a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small, disadvantaged, and community-based vendors to foster resilience and innovation in infrastructure contracting. The procurement portfolio is concentrated in niche NAICS categories including 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 332618 (Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing), indicating specialized demand for integrated building systems and custom fabricated components. Additional focus areas such as 315990 (Apparel Accessories) and 485410 (School Bus Transportation) suggest ancillary support needs tied to installation operations, revealing a broad but mission-driven scope of acquisition activity centered on facility readiness and functional sustainability.
