Michael D. Buckner

Michael D. Buckner serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl, a Department of the Air Force organization responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness across Air Force installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, medical support systems, and specialized equipment procurement, ensuring installations remain technologically current and operationally viable. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing airfield systems, communications networks, and institutional environments critical to personnel safety and mission execution. Buckner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, logistics support, and specialized equipment supply. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear statement of work requirements and quality assurance protocols. A defining feature of Buckner’s procurement strategy is his strong commitment to small business participation, with 81.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to prioritize small disadvantaged, service-disabled veteran-owned, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, aligning with DoD mandates to broaden supplier diversity and enhance resilience in the industrial base. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 333112 and 333924 for lawn, garden, and industrial material handling equipment; 314110 for carpet and rug manufacturing; and 337127 and 337211 for institutional and wood office furniture. These reflect a niche expertise in procuring durable, high-utilization furnishings and equipment tailored to military facility standards, emphasizing durability, safety compliance, and lifecycle cost efficiency.
