He maintains active partnerships with a diverse set of contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for site development and infrastructure work, Protect Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning, LLC for facility hygiene services, Access Portable Toilets Inc for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for specialized security and range support equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor reliability, fostering long-term relationships with firms capable of delivering mission-critical services under demanding operational conditions. Nardone demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder are competed without restriction. This approach ensures robust competition while actively promoting opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, reflecting the Air Force’s broader goals for inclusive procurement. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 811219 (other building equipment contractors), 333111 (farm machinery manufacturing), and 333112 (lawn and garden equipment manufacturing), indicating a unique blend of facility support services and specialized equipment acquisition. He also procures industrial control instruments and communications equipment, reflecting the technical complexity of modern military infrastructure systems. Nardone’s expertise bridges civil works, environmental compliance, and operational support domains, making him a key enabler of Air Force base resilience.
