Kurtis Hirschfeld

Kurtis Hirschfeld supports the procurement mission of the FA4690 28 Cons Pkc under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to the operational readiness and sustainment of Air Force installations. His work centers on securing specialized industrial services and technical systems essential to maintaining mission-critical infrastructure, including environmental control systems, security infrastructure, and facility support capabilities. He routinely handles complex contract actions involving maintenance, repair, and technical integration services, ensuring compliance with defense-specific standards and regulatory frameworks. His role bridges operational needs with acquisition execution, aligning procurement outcomes with strategic readiness objectives. Hirschfeld maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc., and Astronics Test Systems Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in industrial surface treatment and advanced test equipment integration. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and technical alignment with installation sustainment requirements, indicating a focus on reliability, quality assurance, and long-term service performance rather than transactional procurement. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor capability validation and performance-based outcomes. His procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient supplier base of small, capable firms capable of delivering specialized maintenance and technical services. While no set-asides are used for the remaining third, the overall pattern underscores a sustained emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Hirschfeld’s acquisitions are concentrated in three primary NAICS categories: Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111), Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing (332311), and Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (315990). These reflect a diverse but mission-driven portfolio encompassing communications hardware, structural components for facility upgrades, and specialized protective gear or uniform systems. His technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of infrastructure resilience, security systems integration, and logistical support for deployed and garrisoned Air Force units.
