Quintin Day

Quintin Day serves as a key procurement lead within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical national security space infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of facility sustainment and technical support contracts, Day ensures the physical and operational readiness of launch and test site environments through strategic acquisition planning. His work spans maintenance, utilities, security, and specialized technical services, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to modernize aging infrastructure and maintain mission-critical capabilities under stringent defense standards. Day maintains consistent partnerships with a focused set of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure work, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized equipment. These relationships reflect a preference for established, niche vendors capable of delivering mission-essential services in secure, high-reliability environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and rapid response to dynamic operational needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Day consistently structures acquisitions with an 80% small business set-aside rate under FAR 19.5, prioritizing socioeconomic programs to expand vendor diversity and community engagement. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to empower small, qualified firms capable of meeting the unique demands of space operations support, fostering long-term contractor capacity within the defense ecosystem. His procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 711130 (musical groups and artists) for ceremonial and morale support, 561612 (security services), 541380 (testing laboratories), 541370 (surveying and mapping), and 513210 (software publishing). These reflect a hybrid operational model blending physical infrastructure sustainment with digital and analytical support services critical to space launch readiness and site security.
