Dedrian Parmer Jr

Dedrian Parmer Jr. serves as a primary procurement lead within the FA8137 unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain mission-critical air base infrastructure. His role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of facilities support services, construction, and engineering solutions aligned with Air Force installation standards. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for building modernization, utility system upgrades, and energy resilience initiatives, ensuring compliance with defense facility codes and sustainability mandates. His acquisitions directly support the agency’s strategic imperative to modernize aging infrastructure while maintaining continuous operational capability across Air Force installations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the procurement record, Parmer Jr. engages with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in aerospace facility systems, including firms with expertise in HVAC, electrical infrastructure, and structural renovation. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in DoD facilities projects, often requiring security clearances, ISO certifications, and familiarity with military construction specifications such as UFC standards. Parmer Jr.’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.2% of acquisitions open to all competitors under full and open competition, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of air base infrastructure requirements. However, he consistently reserves 4.8% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), indicating a strong alignment with specialized maintenance and support systems for propulsion infrastructure, alongside NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) for facility upgrades. This dual focus reveals deep technical expertise in both aerospace-specific mechanical systems and large-scale institutional construction, positioning him as a key liaison between aviation engineering and civil works domains within Air Force facilities command.
