Kevin Shafer

Kevin Shafer serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. His work centers on securing specialized technical solutions for HVAC, electrical systems, secure computing environments, and auxiliary aircraft equipment essential to operational readiness. He oversees full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Air Force-specific technical standards. His portfolio is narrowly focused on high-reliability systems that support both physical facilities and integrated aerospace logistics. Shafer maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These firms are regularly engaged for their expertise in mission-critical facility sustainment, secure communications integration, and specialized aircraft component support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade engineering and rapid-response maintenance services, fostering long-term, performance-based relationships grounded in technical precision and regulatory compliance. All of Shafer’s acquisitions are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He consistently prioritizes small businesses, ensuring that every solicitation is reserved exclusively for small business concerns, thereby maximizing opportunities for emerging defense contractors and fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base within the aerospace and infrastructure support sectors. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in sourcing non-standard, mission-specific aerospace components, support systems, and integrated avionics accessories. This technical domain requires rigorous adherence to MIL-SPEC standards, and Shafer’s expertise ensures that all procurements align with Air Force requirements for durability, interoperability, and security in high-stakes operational environments.
