Kevin Albertson

Kevin Albertson serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the operational and educational missions of Air University. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on modernizing training infrastructure, including immersive simulation systems, command and control audiovisual equipment, and mission-critical facility upgrades. His work ensures that learning environments remain technologically current and operationally aligned with Air Force readiness goals, bridging the gap between educational needs and defense acquisition standards. Albertson handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring stringent compliance with federal procurement regulations and technical specifications for high-fidelity training systems. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Albertson’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with a mix of large defense contractors and specialized small businesses capable of delivering customized training technologies and facility solutions. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with firms experienced in military-grade AV integration, simulation software development, and infrastructure modernization. He maintains a balanced vendor ecosystem that supports both scalability and innovation across the acquisition lifecycle. Albertson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his portfolio designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on small business participation. Although no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic intent to cultivate a resilient supplier base capable of meeting niche technical demands in education and training infrastructure. His primary procurement focus centers on three NAICS categories: Carpet and Rug Mills (314110), NAICS 511130 (Publishing Industries), and Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing (337211). These reflect a unique blend of facility furnishing, instructional material production, and environmental conditioning needs within training centers. Albertson’s expertise lies in integrating seemingly disparate categories into cohesive, mission-enabling environments that support both physical and digital learning ecosystems across Air Force educational installations.
