Kevin B Gilbert

Kevin B. Gilbert serves as Contract Manager at the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility, where he oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to Joint Base Andrews’ mission readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Gilbert ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s priorities in security systems, communications hardware, and facility maintenance. His portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts supporting environmental, logistical, and operational sustainment functions, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical, non-defense-specific services that enable uninterrupted air operations. Gilbert maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., partnering with firms experienced in specialized environmental remediation, chemical supply, and waste management services. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate technical proficiency in niche service domains. He prioritizes vendors with proven track records in delivering high-integrity, low-impact solutions aligned with federal environmental and safety standards. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his contracts set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), while the remainder are open under no set-aside authority. This pattern underscores his dedication to expanding opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining flexibility to secure mission-critical capabilities from qualified non-set-aside vendors when necessary. Gilbert’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services) and NAICS 812331 (Linen Supply), reflecting his specialization in facility sustainment and environmental hygiene services. He routinely manages contracts for integrated pest management, chemical disinfection, laundry and linen logistics, and sanitation support—services vital to maintaining health, safety, and operational continuity at a high-activity military installation. His technical expertise lies in ensuring these non-traditional defense services meet stringent DoD standards for quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance.
