Lt Arvid Bray

Lt. Arvid Bray serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4484 87 Cons Pk organization, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical services contracts aligned with facility modernization, environmental compliance, and mission-critical system support. His work ensures that installations maintain high-readiness environments for aircraft and personnel through timely and compliant contracting actions, with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and regulatory adherence under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Bray maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships span general construction, facility finishing, security systems integration, and industrial equipment procurement, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure projects. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and technical capability, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms suited to complex, mission-essential tasks. His procurement patterns show a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while 60% remain open to all competitors. This reflects a strategic effort to foster small business participation without compromising access to qualified large-capacity vendors. He actively supports small business growth through targeted set-asides, though no specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate his portfolio. Bray’s primary NAICS focus areas include Security Systems Services (561621), Administrative Management Consulting (541611), Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (336211), Other Building Finishing Contractors (238390), and Industrial Machinery Wholesalers (423830). These reflect a technical domain spanning facility security infrastructure, operational support services, vehicle modifications, specialty construction finishes, and industrial equipment supply—demonstrating broad expertise in integrated base sustainment operations.
