Charles M. Kendall

Charles M. Kendall serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4407 375 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, managing a diverse portfolio of facility-related contracts essential to sustaining Air Force installation readiness. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisitions for building operations, environmental compliance, and infrastructure maintenance, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical services such as linen supply, commercial construction, and specialized facility systems. He ensures alignment with Department of Defense standards while supporting operational continuity through timely, compliant contracting actions. Kendall maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors, including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, who deliver specialized services ranging from facility maintenance to construction and logistics support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in government facilities environments, fostering long-term, performance-based relationships that prioritize quality, compliance, and reliability over transactional engagements. A defining feature of Kendall’s procurement strategy is his robust commitment to small business participation, with 83.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base, prioritizing small, locally based firms capable of delivering facility services with agility and regulatory adherence. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812331 (Linen Supply), which constitutes half of his portfolio, alongside significant activity in commercial and institutional building construction (236220), highway and bridge construction (237310), and flooring contracting (238330). This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in facility sustainment, infrastructure resilience, and service-based operations critical to maintaining Air Force mission environments.
