Samuel Reynolds

Samuel Reynolds serves as a key procurement professional within the 771 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain installation and operational readiness through enterprise-level acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services. Though holding no formal title, his role as a secondary contact positions him to facilitate and coordinate complex contracting actions across construction, facility maintenance, and equipment leasing domains. He actively engages in the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Air Force infrastructure resilience goals and modernization priorities. Reynolds collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of contractors, primarily in construction and facility services, including general contractors, specialty trades, and equipment lessors. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with firms possessing proven experience in military installation environments, emphasizing compliance with federal construction standards and DoD facility requirements. His working relationships are characterized by proactive engagement with vendors to ensure technical compliance, schedule adherence, and performance accountability across geographically dispersed bases. A strong advocate for small business participation, Reynolds supports a procurement strategy where 63.6% of acquisitions are set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He routinely prioritizes small business participation without favoring specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead focusing on broad-based access for qualified small entities capable of delivering essential services. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), and 238160 (roofing), with additional emphasis on 236220 (commercial building construction) and 532490 (industrial equipment leasing). He specializes in acquiring mission-critical infrastructure services that ensure the operational continuity of Air Force installations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with facility systems, environmental compliance, and long-term maintenance sustainment.
