Charlon works closely with engineering and project management teams to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements, ensuring technical accuracy and regulatory adherence in all procurement actions. Charlon maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of international and regional contractors, including SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MONTAJES INDUSTRIALES SA, SWABIAN CONCEPT LIMITED, KVG LLC, and AJ SOLUTIONS SH.P.K. These partners are frequently engaged for complex construction and remediation tasks requiring specialized expertise in European and Mediterranean operational environments. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a focus on contractors demonstrating proven experience in military-grade facility construction and compliance with NATO infrastructure standards. Relationships are built on reliability, technical capability, and adherence to strict quality control protocols. Charlon’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a preference for open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests a focus on mission urgency, technical specificity, and international contractor availability, particularly where specialized capabilities are limited within the small business base in the region. His approach prioritizes capability over socioeconomic classification, aligning with the agency’s operational tempo and global deployment requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, 562910 for hazardous and non-hazardous remediation services, and 237110 for water and sewer line construction. He specializes in procuring turnkey solutions for barracks, medical clinics, command facilities, and utility infrastructure, requiring deep technical knowledge of DoD construction codes, environmental regulations, and expeditionary engineering standards.
