Dustin A. Golden

Dustin A. Golden serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4484 87 Cons Pk organization, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to maintaining operational readiness at military installations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and technical services, ensuring alignment with Air Force mission priorities. He routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements under FAR Part 19 small business set-asides, with a strong emphasis on non-hazardous waste management, specialized manufacturing, laundry services, and technical consulting to support base-wide operational efficiency. Golden maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven capabilities in construction, facility modernization, and niche technical services. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships that support sustained mission success across diverse installation environments. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Golden consistently deploys Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 80% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation, aligning with DoD mandates to promote economic opportunity and resilience within the defense industrial base. His procurement portfolio reflects a deliberate bias toward small business entities, particularly those with expertise in specialized service sectors. His primary NAICS focus areas—562219 (nonhazardous waste treatment), 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), 812320 (drycleaning and laundry services), and 541690 (technical consulting)—reveal a specialized procurement profile centered on facility support, environmental compliance, and mission-critical logistics. He procures tailored solutions for base infrastructure maintenance, including custom-built storage systems, sanitation services, and expert technical advisory services essential to sustaining high-readiness air base operations.
