Dennis Chan

Dennis A. Chan serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Space Systems Command’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, utilities modernization, security systems, and specialized technical support essential to national security space operations. His work ensures the operational readiness of launch and test sites through compliant, timely contract execution under FAR and DFARS guidelines, balancing mission-critical needs with fiscal accountability and regulatory adherence. Chan maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance, TECH O. R., LLC for technical services, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics support, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized supply chain solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade facility operations and mission-enabling services, often requiring security clearances and adherence to DoD environmental and safety standards. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission requirements, aligning with Air Force initiatives to broaden the defense industrial base. Chan’s primary NAICS focus includes hazardous waste treatment and disposal (562211), automotive repair services (811121), and computer training (611420), alongside niche support in soil preparation (115112) and construction materials distribution (423320). His expertise spans environmental compliance, facility upkeep, and workforce development, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of sustaining space launch infrastructure in a high-security operational environment.
