Earl Ryan Oberholtzer

Earl Ryan Oberholtzer serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4613 90 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize remote nuclear deterrence infrastructure, including missile launch facilities, command centers, and associated utility systems. His portfolio centers on complex, high-assurance contracts requiring stringent security and operational continuity standards, often involving specialized engineering, maintenance, and security services for geographically dispersed defense assets. Oberholtzer ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while prioritizing resilience, reliability, and lifecycle support for mission-essential infrastructure. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc., each of which provides specialized technical services ranging from facility sustainment and cybersecurity to hazardous material handling and remote site logistics. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in secure, austere environments and the ability to deliver under strict operational constraints. Oberholtzer’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Oberholtzer demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 70% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, capable firms. He also routinely includes service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals and fostering a diverse supplier base equipped to meet the unique demands of defense infrastructure sustainment. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes related to facility maintenance (811219), specialized manufacturing (336214, 337214, 339920, 333517), and technical support services. These reflect a niche expertise in procuring non-standard, mission-tailored equipment and services—including industrial maintenance tools, secure facility furnishings, and ruggedized systems—designed for use in remote, high-security environments critical to national defense.
