Nicholas A. Griswold

Nicholas A. Griswold serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. He oversees contracts for specialized facility maintenance, medical support systems, and airfield operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DoD infrastructure modernization goals. His work directly supports operational continuity by securing reliable, technologically advanced services and supplies essential to base functionality and personnel safety. Griswold maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced vendors, including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in industrial supply logistics, abrasive product distribution, and airport operations support. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, results-driven collaborations that minimize operational disruption. While the majority of his acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Griswold maintains a deliberate 16.7% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach to competition and socioeconomic objectives. He prioritizes broad-based competition while ensuring qualified small businesses have meaningful access to opportunities within his portfolio, particularly in niche technical service categories. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 327910 (Abrasive Product Manufacturing), 423840 (Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), and 488119 (Other Airport Operations), reflecting deep expertise in sourcing specialized industrial consumables, maintenance-grade supplies, and airfield support services. This technical domain requires precise specification development and supply chain validation to meet stringent military standards for durability, safety, and compatibility with aviation and facility systems.
