David A. Nilsen

David A. Nilsen serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4803 20 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing construction and facility support contracts critical to sustaining Air Force infrastructure readiness. He oversees the acquisition of commercial and institutional building services, including HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and utility infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and mission-critical resilience goals. His work directly supports the modernization of military installations through timely, compliant contract execution across diverse technical domains. Nilsen maintains active contracting relationships with specialized vendors such as CAROLINA GROUND SERVICE EQUIPMENT INC, reflecting a focus on niche service providers capable of delivering complex facility support solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes partnerships with contractors possessing proven expertise in military-grade construction and maintenance, often requiring stringent adherence to DoD specifications and environmental compliance protocols. He fosters long-term vendor relationships built on performance reliability and technical capability rather than volume-based award patterns. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strong institutional commitment to small business engagement. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse, capable contractor base aligned with Air Force infrastructure needs. Nilsen’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), and 484210 (Moving Services), reflecting a unique blend of utility infrastructure, specialized equipment, and logistics support. This combination reveals deep technical expertise in procuring mission-enabling systems—from gas distribution and control instrumentation to facility relocation services—that collectively sustain operational continuity across Air Force bases.
