Mike Petty serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. He specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for facility maintenance, construction services, and mission-critical support functions, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and environmental safety standards. His portfolio centers on sustaining airfield operations through technical services that enhance base resilience and mission capability, with a strong emphasis on timely execution and regulatory adherence. Petty maintains established relationships with key contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in military facility upgrades, HVAC systems, and logistical support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging past performance evaluations and technical capability assessments to ensure contractor reliability and mission alignment. These partnerships are cultivated through transparent, competitive processes that prioritize quality, safety, and schedule adherence. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition (62.2%), Petty consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 37.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively promotes socioeconomic opportunities for small businesses without favoring specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad-based small business eligibility to maximize competition and innovation within the contractor base. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), reflecting a high volume of dining facility and morale, welfare, and recreation support contracts. He also regularly manages acquisitions under NAICS 488190 (Air Transportation Support), 221320 (Sewage Treatment), and 541611 (Management Consulting), demonstrating expertise in facility operations, environmental compliance, and administrative support services essential to sustaining Air Force installations.
