Kirk Wetherbee serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4686 9 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisition strategies that sustain critical infrastructure resilience across Air Force installations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of service and construction contracts, including requirement validation, solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration. Wetherbee ensures compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through preventive maintenance, facility modernization, and environmental compliance initiatives. He routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions involving facility operations, utility systems, and specialized technical support services. Wetherbee maintains a consistent working relationship with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a key contractor providing cloud-enabled infrastructure and digital services critical to modernizing base operations. His procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, technical interoperability, and long-term sustainment planning. He engages with a diverse pool of contractors, prioritizing those capable of delivering integrated solutions that support mission-critical facility functions under dynamic operational conditions. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wetherbee consistently structures procurements with a 57.1% total small business set-aside rate under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals.
