Nicholas Akins

Nicholas Akins supports the procurement mission of the FA3010 81 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure and medical support systems. Though his official title is not listed, his role involves overseeing contract execution for facility upgrades, environmental systems, and diagnostic equipment essential to Air Force operational readiness. He handles a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and specialized service contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals for barracks, medical facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure. Akins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering complex site development, facility maintenance, and specialized monitoring services. His contracting patterns suggest a focus on long-term vendor reliability and technical capability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative relationships with contractors experienced in military-grade construction and operational support. His procurement activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 80.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on full and open competition for mission-critical requirements. However, he consistently allocates 19.2% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission needs. Akins’ primary NAICS focus lies in 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers) and 711320 (Promoters of Performing Arts), which may reflect unique contracting needs such as ceremonial support, morale-boosting events, or specialized training simulations. Additional activity in 811210 (electronic equipment repair) and 324110 (petroleum refineries) suggests ancillary support for energy and technical systems maintenance, indicating a broad technical domain expertise spanning infrastructure, logistics, and operational sustainment.
