SSgt Trevor Forsythe

Trevor M. Forsythe serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4419 agency, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical air base infrastructure and aerospace support systems. His work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring reliable maintenance, repair, and logistical capabilities for aircraft systems and facility operations. He typically handles complex, mission-critical contracts spanning industrial services, environmental systems, and specialized technical support, often coordinating across multiple functional domains to align procurement outcomes with strategic Air Force readiness goals. Forsythe maintains a consistent working relationship with COORDINATED DEFENSE SUPPLY SYSTEMS, INC., a primary contractor providing specialized logistical and supply chain support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in industrial service delivery, particularly those capable of supporting high-reliability, low-margin operational environments. He engages vendors through competitive and negotiated procurement methods, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and long-term sustainment partnerships. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. While no other specific set-aside categories dominate, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive effort to diversify the supplier base and enhance resilience in critical support networks. Forsythe’s primary NAICS focus includes industrial laundry services (812332), industrial gas manufacturing (325120), and miscellaneous textile product mills (314999), indicating a niche but vital emphasis on facility support services essential to base operations. He also procures professional training (611430) and detergent manufacturing (325611), underscoring a broad yet targeted approach to sustaining day-to-day military infrastructure. His expertise lies in integrating non-traditional industrial services into aerospace sustainment frameworks, ensuring that even ancillary capabilities contribute meaningfully to mission success.
