SSgt. Tanner Frank

SSgt. Tanner Frank supports the procurement mission of FA4686 9 Cons Pk, a Department of the Air Force installation maintenance and construction unit responsible for sustaining critical infrastructure resilience across Air Force bases. Though holding no formal contracting title, Frank plays a pivotal operational role in identifying, soliciting, and managing service contracts essential to facility readiness, including mechanical systems maintenance, structural repairs, and environmental compliance support. He works closely with acquisition teams to translate mission requirements into technically sound solicitation packages, ensuring alignment with DoD facility sustainment standards and regulatory frameworks such as FAR and DFARS. Frank maintains a consistent working relationship with RESTORED CLOUD INC, a key vendor providing specialized maintenance and repair services for commercial and industrial equipment critical to base operations. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical capabilities in facility systems, though he actively engages with a diverse pool of small business vendors to meet mission needs. His collaboration with contractors is characterized by clear technical specifications, performance-based outcomes, and a focus on long-term operational reliability over short-term cost savings. Frank demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his procurements structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate his portfolio, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster vendor diversity and enhance competition among qualified contractors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, reflecting deep expertise in HVAC, electrical systems, and facility utility infrastructure. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 238190 for building exterior work and 562112 for hazardous waste collection, underscoring a technical proficiency in environmental compliance and facility modernization domains essential to Air Force installation readiness.
