Raymond Barlow

Raymond Barlow serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of Vandenberg Space Force Base’s critical space launch and test infrastructure. He manages acquisitions focused on facility sustainment, utilities modernization, and specialized technical support services essential to national security space operations. His role centers on ensuring the physical and environmental readiness of launch pads, control systems, and supporting infrastructure through timely, compliant contract actions aligned with Defense Acquisition Regulations and FAR guidelines. Barlow’s portfolio emphasizes mission-critical construction and maintenance contracts that uphold the integrity of high-security space operations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and prefabricated building systems, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for biosecurity compliance, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support services, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized tactical supply chain support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-critical environments and rapid-response capabilities under strict security protocols. Barlow exhibits a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the defense industrial base, prioritizing small businesses capable of delivering specialized construction, maintenance, and logistics services in secure operational zones. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 321992 (Prefabricated Wood Building Manufacturing), indicating a specialized focus on modular, rapidly deployable facility components used to support temporary or permanent infrastructure at remote launch sites. This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in engineered building systems designed for harsh environmental conditions, rapid assembly, and compliance with military construction standards.
