Donald L. Plumley

Donald L. Plumley serves as Chief of the Base Support Flight at FA4661 7 Cons Cd, a unit within the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining critical infrastructure across garrison and expeditionary environments. In this leadership role, he oversees the acquisition and management of facility maintenance, utility system upgrades, and mission-enabling services essential to operational readiness. His procurement portfolio encompasses a wide array of infrastructure support functions, including HVAC, electrical systems, airfield utilities, and environmental services, ensuring that Air Force installations remain resilient and fully mission-capable. Plumley’s work directly supports the agency’s mandate to modernize aging infrastructure while maintaining compliance with federal acquisition regulations and sustainability standards. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Plumley’s procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on fostering diverse vendor partnerships, particularly with small businesses capable of delivering specialized facility services and engineered components. His office routinely engages with contractors offering technical expertise in utility systems, structural maintenance, and logistics support, prioritizing responsiveness, compliance, and performance-based outcomes in contract execution. Plumley demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 66.7% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals to broaden supplier diversity and strengthen local economic resilience. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), 322211 (Corrugated and Solid Fiber Box Manufacturing), 561730 (Landscaping Services), 335311 (Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing), and 813110 (Religious Organizations), indicating a broad but specialized need for industrial packaging, grounds maintenance, electrical infrastructure components, and ancillary support services. This mix underscores his technical proficiency in managing complex, multi-domain infrastructure requirements critical to Air Force base operations.
