Roderic S. Cockhern

Roderic S. Cockhern serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility support services, with a primary focus on maintenance, repair, and modernization of mission-critical building systems including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure. His acquisitions ensure operational readiness and quality of life for personnel by securing reliable, compliant, and timely contract performance across a broad spectrum of facility services. Cockhern specializes in firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for construction-related support, often coordinating with engineers and project managers to align procurement strategy with installation-specific requirements. Cockhern maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC, and ACTION CONSTRUCTION AUSTIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military facility maintenance, industrial mechanical systems, and site-specific construction support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with military standards, and accountability in delivery timelines, fostering long-term vendor reliability and mission alignment. Cockhern’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic classifications in award decisions, his process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and price reasonableness as primary evaluation criteria. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 488991 (Packing and Crating), reflecting a specialized need for logistics and handling services tied to the movement, storage, and secure packaging of sensitive equipment and materials for installation upgrades. This niche specialization underscores his technical domain expertise in defense logistics support, particularly in the context of infrastructure modernization projects requiring precision handling and transportation of mission-critical components.
