Samuel K. Riehn

Samuel K. Riehn serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical air base infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility systems, communications equipment, and mission-critical support services essential to operational readiness. His work spans construction-related services, building system upgrades, and specialized logistics support, ensuring air bases maintain resilient, secure, and efficient operational environments. Riehn’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s priorities in infrastructure resilience, including HVAC, wastewater systems, and secure communications networks. Riehn maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering integrated technical and facility support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in complex, multi-disciplinary projects, often involving technical specifications for military-grade infrastructure. While he engages with a limited number of core contractors, his approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, compliance with military standards, and contract administration rigor to ensure mission continuity. His procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Riehn consistently structures solicitations to encourage small business involvement, particularly in service and manufacturing categories aligned with socioeconomic goals. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides but ensures small businesses have equitable access through total small business opportunities. Riehn’s primary NAICS focus includes 561599 for travel and reservation services supporting personnel mobility, 337127 and 337211 for institutional and wood office furniture procurement, and 339113 for medical supplies used in base health clinics. He also procures event promotion services under 711320 to support morale and readiness initiatives. His expertise lies in bridging administrative, logistical, and facility support needs with technical compliance requirements for Air Force installations.
