Jerald W. Belford III

Jerald W. Belford III serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4625 509 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain Air Force infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for facility support services, environmental remediation, logistics enablement, and specialized technical services critical to base resilience. His work ensures the functionality and security of Air Force installations through compliant, timely procurement actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations and strategic readiness objectives. Belford maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, N2GRATE GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC, and AZTEK COMPUTERS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing both large-capacity service providers and niche technical solution providers, with an emphasis on performance-based contracting and delivery order execution. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in facility maintenance, transportation logistics, and government IT support. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements, Belford demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of his awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with DoD socioeconomic goals and a proactive effort to expand opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises within the installation support sector. His primary NAICS focus areas—Facilities Support Services (561210), Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services (561740), Independent Artists/Writers/Performers (711510), and Petroleum Refineries (324110)—reveal a broad yet specialized procurement scope. He procures everything from base maintenance and janitorial services to specialized technical support and energy infrastructure services, underscoring his expertise in managing non-traditional, mission-critical contracts that support the full spectrum of Air Force installation operations.
