David Mendoza

David Mendoza serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and mission-enabling service contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness and facility resilience. His acquisitions span civil engineering, environmental systems, and base support services, ensuring compliance with DoD standards while advancing infrastructure modernization goals. Mendoza’s work directly enables the unit’s mission to deliver reliable airfield, utility, and facility systems under stringent operational timelines. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in heavy construction, facility maintenance, and specialized support services. Key partners include MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for civil infrastructure projects, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for facility hygiene compliance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade standards and rapid-response capabilities, often leveraging long-term task order agreements to ensure continuity. Mendoza demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on socioeconomic programs, prioritizing small business eligibility and fostering vendor diversity across multiple categories. While no single set-aside type dominates, his portfolio consistently includes opportunities for SDVOSBs, HUBZone firms, and other small business concerns aligned with defense infrastructure needs. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting expertise in infrastructure resilience projects, alongside 561740 (Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services), underscoring the breadth of facility support requirements. This combination highlights his ability to manage both large-scale civil works and niche operational services critical to base functionality.
