Mario Geeter

Mario Geeter serves as a key procurement professional within the 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services, a unit of the Federal Aviation Administration under the Department of Transportation. He is responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure, including contracts for the operation, maintenance, and construction of Air Traffic Control Towers and related aviation facilities. His portfolio emphasizes technical services and infrastructure support essential to ensuring the safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance of the national airspace system. Geeter routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring specialized engineering and construction expertise, often involving integrated systems and facility modernization initiatives. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including StructSure Projects Inc., Resolution Management Consultants Inc., Fortis Native Group LLC, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in aviation facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and site-specific construction. Geeter’s contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging contractor capabilities in both technical execution and regulatory adherence to meet FAA operational standards. Geeter’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business participation, as all acquisitions under his purview are set-aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms. His consistent use of full small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to build capacity within the small business ecosystem serving aviation infrastructure. His technical focus centers on NAICS codes 237130 (power and communication line construction), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 334418 (printed circuit assembly), and 423690 (electronic parts wholesale). These reflect a blend of civil infrastructure and electronic systems procurement, requiring expertise in avionics integration, facility electrical systems, and communications network deployment for ATCTs and flight service stations.
