Nicholas Masarone

Lt. Nicholas Masarone supports mission-critical acquisition activities for the Department of the Air Force under FA4484 87 Cons Pk, ensuring the sustainment and modernization of air base infrastructure through strategic contracting. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical services contracts essential to operational readiness, with a focus on facility systems, environmental compliance, and installation support. His work directly enables the Air Force’s priorities in maintaining high-readiness environments for aircraft and personnel by securing reliable contractors for complex, mission-essential projects. Masarone maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in facility upgrades, mechanical systems, and specialized maintenance services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance reliability, regulatory adherence, and long-term vendor stability, fostering collaborative relationships built on technical competence and compliance with federal acquisition standards. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly equal allocation between total small business set-asides and open competitions. Women-Owned Small Businesses receive targeted consideration, accounting for approximately 9.1% of awards, while the absence of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences indicates a focus on broad-based small business eligibility under FAR 19.5 rather than socioeconomically targeted programs. Masarone’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in HVAC and building systems maintenance. He also procures services under NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 611512 (flight training support), and 561990 (general support services), demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining complex military installations through integrated technical contracting.
