Dean Walleen

Dean Walleen serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4690 28 Cons Pkc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain Air Force installation infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized industrial services, with a primary focus on facility support, environmental control systems, and technical maintenance operations. Walleen ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s operational readiness objectives, frequently handling complex solicitations for industrial repair, security systems, and communications hardware under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Walleen maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc. and Astronics Test Systems Inc., both of which provide high-specialization services in surface preparation, industrial coating, and test equipment maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, technical expertise, and adherence to military-grade specifications. He actively collaborates with these contractors to ensure timely delivery of mission-essential services that support installation resilience and operational continuity. A defining feature of Walleen’s procurement profile is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to maximizing socioeconomic opportunities for small businesses. All of his acquisitions are structured to ensure full participation by small business concerns, with no awards issued under unrestricted or large business set-asides. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business supplier base capable of meeting the technical demands of Air Force infrastructure sustainment. His procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 221320 — Sewage Treatment Facilities — indicating a specialized technical domain centered on environmental control and wastewater management systems critical to installation compliance and operational sustainability. Walleen’s expertise lies in procuring engineered solutions for facility utilities, including treatment equipment, pump systems, and associated maintenance services, demonstrating deep familiarity with environmental infrastructure contracting within DoD contexts.
