Donald L. Plumley

Donald L. Plumley serves as Chief of the Plans and Programs Flight within the FA4661 7 Cons Cd under the Department of the Air Force, where he leads the strategic planning and programming of facility sustainment and mission-enabling acquisitions. In this role, he oversees the development of long-term infrastructure modernization plans, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness goals across both garrison and expeditionary environments. His portfolio encompasses a wide range of construction, maintenance, and utility system contracts, including HVAC, electrical, airfield, and water infrastructure projects, all critical to sustaining operational continuity. Plumley plays a pivotal role in translating mission requirements into actionable procurement strategies that prioritize resilience, compliance, and lifecycle cost efficiency. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Plumley’s office maintains a robust network of qualified vendors capable of delivering complex facility services under performance-based contracting frameworks. He consistently engages with firms possessing specialized expertise in military installation support, including those certified in facility management, energy conservation, and environmental compliance. His contracting patterns emphasize performance outcomes, quality assurance, and contractor accountability through rigorous oversight mechanisms. Plumley demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his office’s acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, ensuring broad-based industry engagement and workforce development across the defense ecosystem. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), which, in this context, likely reflects an administrative or classification anomaly, as the actual technical domain involves facility infrastructure sustainment. The apparent misalignment suggests a need for NAICS code correction; however, the functional scope remains firmly rooted in civil engineering, facility maintenance, and utility systems management essential to Air Force installation readiness.
