Patrick Etherton

Patrick Etherton serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. His responsibilities center on managing acquisitions for facility systems, security services, and technical support contracts that ensure operational readiness. He routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under FAR Part 16, with a focus on maintaining HVAC, electrical, and cyber-enabled infrastructure in high-priority facilities. His work directly enables the Air Force’s resilience objectives by securing reliable, secure, and compliant services essential to base operations. Etherton maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility maintenance, technical services, and construction support. His contracting patterns suggest a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary services under time-sensitive, mission-critical conditions, often requiring compliance with DoD security standards and environmental regulations. His procurement portfolio exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately 28.6% of awards designated for small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. While the majority of contracts are open to full and open competition, Etherton actively prioritizes SDVOSB participation, aligning with Department of the Air Force initiatives to strengthen veteran-owned enterprise engagement. The primary technical focus of his acquisitions falls under NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on physical security and access control services. Additional procurement activity includes professional technical services (NAICS 541990) and specialized office equipment manufacturing (NAICS 337214), indicating a broad operational scope that supports both security and administrative infrastructure needs across Air Force installations.
