Frederick Chartrand

Frederick Chartrand serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining critical aerospace infrastructure and installation resilience. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facilities support, and specialized technical acquisitions aimed at maintaining operational readiness across Air Force bases. His work spans the full lifecycle of facility modernization—from structural repairs and environmental remediation to the procurement of aviation-grade sensing systems and compressor technologies—ensuring mission-critical facilities meet stringent DoD standards for durability and functionality. Chartrand cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, as well as general contractors with expertise in military-grade construction and remediation services. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive engagement, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and technical alignment with Air Force infrastructure requirements. He frequently collaborates with firms specializing in hazardous material abatement, local freight logistics, and facility operations support to deliver integrated solutions. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Chartrand prioritizes small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 11.1% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. His pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to expand access for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531110 (residential building lessors), 562910 (remediation services), and 561210 (facilities support services), with additional activity in 484110 (local freight trucking) and 333912 (air and gas compressor manufacturing). This reflects a technical domain expertise in base infrastructure sustainment, environmental compliance, and the integration of mission-critical mechanical systems essential to aerospace operations.
