Raymond Bussey

Raymond Bussey serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain operational readiness across garrisoned and deployed environments. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for services essential to base sustainment, personnel readiness, and communications infrastructure. He routinely handles task and delivery order procurements under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, ensuring compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards while aligning acquisitions with strategic Air Force priorities in IT, logistics, and facility support. Bussey maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including SUPPLYCORE LLC, CYBERPROTEX, LLC, and Liberty Communications, Inc., reflecting a focus on specialized service providers in hospitality, cybersecurity, and communications. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in supporting military installations, particularly those delivering lodging, security systems, and IT-enabled services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract management, emphasizing reliability and mission alignment over transactional sourcing. His contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with approximately 90.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, indicating a primary emphasis on capability, responsiveness, and operational necessity. While small business participation remains limited at 9.1%, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a measured but intentional inclusion of qualified small entities when market conditions permit. Bussey’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting the agency’s reliance on transient lodging services for personnel mobility and training cycles. Secondary focus areas include security systems services, custom computer programming, and vehicle leasing—all aligned with the sustainment of daily operations at Air Force installations. His expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling services that directly support personnel welfare, infrastructure resilience, and secure communications.
