Gabriel Fickel

Gabriel Fickel serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4686 9 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure resilience across Air Force installations. His role centers on executing construction, utility, and facility support contracts essential to maintaining mission-ready bases. He handles a diverse portfolio of service and construction contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on preventive maintenance, environmental compliance, and facility modernization initiatives that ensure operational continuity and regulatory adherence. Fickel maintains a consistent working relationship with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a primary contractor delivering specialized infrastructure and support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in civil works and facility systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical expertise. He collaborates closely with contractors who demonstrate compliance with federal construction standards and possess experience in complex, multi-disciplinary base maintenance environments. A defining feature of Fickel’s procurement strategy is his strong emphasis on small business participation, with 68.2% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and locally-based firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force socioeconomic goals. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, ensuring broad vendor engagement across the installation support ecosystem. His primary technical focus lies in water and sewer line construction (NAICS 237110), which constitutes nearly half of his acquisition portfolio, followed by commercial and institutional building construction, electrical systems, and HVAC contracting. This specialization underscores his expertise in utility infrastructure resilience, plumbing, and facility systems integration—core domains critical to sustaining Air Force base operations under evolving mission and environmental demands.
