Kile McTague

Kile J. McTague serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA5240 36 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, communications, and infrastructure services essential to sustaining air base operations. His portfolio includes procurements for facility modernization, logistics support systems, and the repair of airborne and ground-based equipment, ensuring operational readiness across critical installations. McTague executes full and open competitions as well as small business set-asides, applying FAR Part 19 and other socioeconomic authorities to align acquisitions with Air Force readiness priorities and federal contracting mandates. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Pacific Rim Constructors Inc., Gocrafts LLC, Docomo Pacific, Inc., M-80 Systems, Inc., and MIC Industries Inc., who provide specialized services in construction, telecommunications, electronic systems integration, and fabricated metal components. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical capabilities in supporting military-grade infrastructure and secure communications environments, often under time-sensitive delivery requirements and stringent compliance standards. McTague’s contracting patterns reveal a strong emphasis on small business participation, with approximately 34.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a modest but deliberate allocation to 8(a) competed contracts at 2.3%. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his approach actively promotes socioeconomic diversity by structuring requirements to enable small business eligibility, particularly in technical service and fabrication categories. His primary NAICS focus includes Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing (337211), Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing (335999), and Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (332999), indicating a specialized procurement niche in non-standardized, mission-tailored equipment and fixtures. These categories reflect the agency’s need for custom-built, durable, and compliant furnishings and components used in secure operational environments, demonstrating technical expertise in procurement for specialized military facility needs.
