Pat E. Filer serves as a Contract Officer within the FA4460 19 Cons Pka unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisition programs that sustain operational readiness at Air Force installations. His portfolio centers on facility infrastructure, environmental systems, and mission-critical support services, ensuring base environments remain functional and resilient. He executes a broad range of procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, including construction, maintenance, and technical services, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and performance-based contracting methodologies to meet dynamic installation needs. Filer maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized facility services and construction support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in military infrastructure delivery, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with DoD standards.
