Richard A. Broda serves as a key procurement lead within the FA6675 301 Conf Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain critical airfield and facility infrastructure. His work directly supports operational readiness by securing construction, communication systems, and site development services essential to mission-critical environments such as hangars, control towers, and secure communications hubs. Broda handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build, construction management, and specialized equipment procurement that aligns with Air Force infrastructure modernization goals. He maintains a primary working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor for site preparation, earthwork, and infrastructure development. Broda’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade construction and environmental compliance, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and adherence to DoD standards. His engagements prioritize contractors capable of executing complex, multi-phase projects under stringent security and safety protocols. Broda’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses.
