SrA Nicholas Rogers

SrA Nicholas Rogers serves as a Contracting Officer for the 379th Expeditionary Contracting Squadron (FA5702), under the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to sustain critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. His portfolio centers on facility sustainment, environmental systems, and mission-critical utility support, ensuring that expeditionary and overseas installations maintain functional airfields, climate-controlled environments, and reliable mechanical systems. He executes contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Defense supplements, prioritizing timely, compliant, and mission-aligned acquisitions that directly enable airpower projection. SrA Rogers maintains professional relationships with a focused base of plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors who specialize in military-grade HVAC, ductwork, and building automation systems for austere environments. He works closely with vendors possessing technical expertise in modular climate control units, energy-efficient retrofits, and rapid-deployment facility systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, rigorous technical evaluations, and strict adherence to military installation standards, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors capable of operating under expeditionary conditions. SrA Rogers does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted as full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission urgency and the specialized nature of the services procured, where technical capability and rapid response outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on merit, responsiveness, and proven experience in military facility sustainment. His primary focus is NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where he procures complex mechanical systems, including packaged terminal air conditioners, chilled water loops, ventilation exhaust systems, and integrated building management controls. His technical expertise lies in ensuring compliance with UFC standards and Air Force Installation Engineering Requirements, making him a key enabler of operational continuity in high-tempo, forward-deployed locations.
