Donald Kalivoda

Donald Kalivoda serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA6712 911th Airlift Wing Logistics Center under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to maintaining operational readiness at Air Force Reserve facilities. His portfolio centers on facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and logistics infrastructure, overseeing contracts for HVAC repairs, roofing, pavement maintenance, and industrial equipment servicing. Kalivoda plays a pivotal role in ensuring mission-critical infrastructure remains functional and compliant through timely, compliant procurements aligned with FAR and Air Force-specific acquisition policies. He maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including M-B Companies, Inc., Elite Veteran Solutions, LLC, EnviroServe Inc., and Milkie Lawn & Garden Service Inc., reflecting a preference for experienced, niche providers capable of delivering specialized maintenance and environmental services. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and local capacity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that support consistent service delivery across geographically dispersed Air Force Reserve sites. Kalivoda demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 40% of his acquisitions structured as set-asides—20% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and another 20% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to promote veteran-owned and small business engagement in federal infrastructure support. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction). This technical alignment reflects deep expertise in facility modernization, mechanical systems maintenance, and structural integrity projects, positioning him as a key liaison between operational needs and compliant, technically sound contracting solutions.
