Frank J. Trofa

Frank J. Trofa serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, supporting mission-critical infrastructure sustainment and operational readiness at military installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on facility maintenance, construction, and technical services essential to air base functionality. His work ensures compliance with federal construction codes, environmental regulations, and readiness standards, primarily through the execution of firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the FAR. Trofa’s acquisitions directly enable the modernization of airfield facilities, HVAC systems, and supporting infrastructure critical to aircraft operations and personnel safety. Trofa maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These vendors are regularly selected for their demonstrated capability in delivering complex construction, facility upgrades, and technical services under tight operational timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering a collaborative yet disciplined procurement environment grounded in accountability and mission alignment. While the majority of his acquisitions (75%) are conducted without set-asides, Trofa maintains a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 25% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively promotes competition among qualified small businesses and prioritizes socioeconomic programs that enhance contractor diversity without compromising mission requirements. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 485410 (School and Employee Bus Transportation), reflecting the need for secure, compliant personnel movement services across installations, and NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), indicating a growing reliance on tailored software solutions for facility management and maintenance tracking systems. This dual specialization underscores his expertise in both physical infrastructure support and digital enablement for Air Force operations.
