Bleichner serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4608 2 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical infrastructure services essential to Air Force operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on facility maintenance, security systems integration, and site preparation for military installations—including hangars, airfields, and support facilities. His acquisitions prioritize reliable physical infrastructure sustainment, ensuring mission-critical environments remain functional and resilient. Bleichner specializes in soliciting and awarding contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, frequently employing performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to meet dynamic installation needs. Bleichner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including UNITED POOL MAINTENANCE LLC, WHITEDS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., and HALLIDAY TECHNOLOGIES INC., among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche service providers with proven expertise in environmental remediation, landscaping, security technology, and specialized trade contracting. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, compliance with federal standards, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor engagement through repeat awards and task order executions under established contract vehicles. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Bleichner prioritizes small business participation, with over 78% of his awards directed toward set-aside programs. His portfolio is heavily weighted toward Total Small Business Set-Asides and SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs. He also regularly utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to promote veteran-owned enterprise growth. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), with significant activity in specialty trade contracting under 238990. Bleichner’s acquisitions support the construction, maintenance, and enhancement of installation grounds and infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with civil works, environmental compliance, and facility sustainment standards.
