Robert Staley

Robert Staley serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA6675 301 Conf Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize Air Force infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction, maintenance, and specialized equipment contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with operational readiness goals. He routinely handles complex procurements for airfield facilities, hangars, control towers, and communication systems, requiring deep technical understanding of building systems and defense-specific standards. Staley maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for site development and facility upgrades. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliability in delivering integrated construction and infrastructure services. He actively engages with contractors through competitive bidding, contract modifications, and post-award performance evaluations to ensure quality and mission alignment. A strong advocate for small business participation, Staley prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 90% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. His contracting approach consistently channels opportunities to small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms, reinforcing the Air Force’s socioeconomic goals while fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base. He rarely utilizes no-set-aside mechanisms, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize small business engagement across the procurement spectrum. His technical expertise centers on NAICS categories including 238210 (electrical wiring installation), 236220 (commercial and institutional construction), and 238220 (HVAC systems), with additional focus on hardware manufacturing and aircraft auxiliary equipment. Staley’s portfolio reflects specialized knowledge in facility infrastructure modernization, ensuring that Air Force installations meet stringent operational, safety, and security requirements through targeted, technically sound acquisitions.
