Richard A. Belcher

Richard A. Belcher serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, medical support systems, and specialized equipment services essential to Air Force installation functionality. His work ensures that airfields, communications networks, and support facilities remain technologically current and operationally viable, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and lifecycle sustainability standards. Belcher maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced vendors, including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partners specialize in facility operations, technical maintenance, and logistics support services tailored to military environments. His contracting approach favors long-term, performance-based agreements that prioritize reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsive service delivery, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to meet dynamic operational needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Belcher consistently structures procurements to maximize small business set-asides, with 54.5% of his awards designated under FAR 19.5 total small business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic inclusion and enhance competition, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. His contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for small businesses capable of delivering specialized maintenance, facility, and equipment services in support of Air Force readiness. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 532412 for construction and mining equipment leasing, alongside niche categories such as 333517 for machine tool manufacturing and 485113 for transit systems. These reflect a technical domain expertise in sustaining complex, mission-critical equipment fleets and infrastructure systems, requiring deep understanding of federal supply chain logistics, maintenance support contracts, and specialized industrial equipment procurement.
