Earl Boutelle

Earl Boutelle serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical installation infrastructure and operational readiness. His work centers on securing specialized facility, medical, and maintenance services essential to Air Force mission continuity, with a focus on modernizing communications systems, airfield operations, and support facilities. Boutelle handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and service-based solicitations requiring technical compliance with military standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced service providers capable of delivering facility maintenance, logistics support, and technical systems integration under stringent Air Force compliance requirements. Boutelle’s contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance, and technical capability over price alone, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to engage qualified small businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a structured commitment to expanding opportunities for small firms without compromising mission requirements. Boutelle’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532210 (Consumer Electronics and Appliances Rental), reflecting a significant demand for temporary equipment and technical support systems. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 333111 and 332994 suggests involvement in specialized maintenance tools and ordnance-related support equipment, underscoring his expertise in procuring niche, mission-critical hardware and services that align with Air Force installation and readiness needs.
