Nicholas D Parsons

Nicholas Parsons serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA5000 673 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions critical to sustaining military infrastructure and operational readiness. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for construction, facility maintenance, environmental remediation, medical and electrotherapeutic equipment, and specialized facility services. Parsons plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely acquisition of mission-critical assets that support Air Force installation resilience, aligning procurement activities with FAR guidelines and DoD policy to meet stringent operational timelines and compliance standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC, partnering with firms that deliver specialized construction, technical maintenance, and facility support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in complex, regulated environments, often leveraging competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15 to ensure technical adequacy and value. Parsons demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately 25% of his awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and additional allocations to Women-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his structured use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to foster market diversity and enhance small business growth within the defense industrial base. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811219 (other commercial and industrial machinery repair) and 811310 (repair and maintenance of commercial equipment), alongside specialized services in airport operations and computer systems design. He frequently acquires electrotherapeutic medical devices, facility maintenance systems, and technical support services critical to base infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in procurement domains requiring technical compliance and lifecycle management.
