K. Shane Dunlap serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical infrastructure at Air Force installations.

His portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems upgrades, ensuring compliance with military standards for resilience and energy efficiency.

Dunlap maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, and DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military facility environments, particularly those experienced in rapid-response repairs, code-compliant renovations, and integrated systems installation. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to Department of Defense facility standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance history and compliance. Dunlap demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 18.2% are awarded through 8(a) competed programs, reflecting a deliberate strategy to prioritize small, disadvantaged businesses in infrastructure contracting. His patterns align with Air Force goals to expand small business participation while maintaining rigorous performance standards across mission-critical services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in water and sewer line construction and poured concrete foundations. Dunlap’s technical expertise centers on integrated building systems, ensuring that all acquisitions support the Air Force’s mandate for durable, efficient, and resilient infrastructure.
