Zakobe Fead

SSgt. Zakobe Fead serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc, a Department of the Air Force unit responsible for sustaining critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. Fead manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facility services, and mission-critical support acquisitions, with a focus on building systems, secure communications, and utility infrastructure upgrades. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize physical and technical assets, ensuring air base resilience through timely and compliant contract execution. Fead routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under FAR Part 16, prioritizing performance-based service delivery and lifecycle sustainability. Fead maintains a strong working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a trusted contractor delivering integrated facility and communications support services. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven vendor partnerships that emphasize reliability, technical expertise, and rapid response to mission-critical needs. Fead consistently engages contractors capable of supporting complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving HVAC, wastewater systems, and secure network infrastructure. Fead demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 25% reserved specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation and foster local economic resilience while ensuring access to specialized capabilities. The agency’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 423450 (medical, dental, and hospital equipment wholesaling) and 561790 (other services to buildings and dwellings), indicating a unique blend of healthcare-related infrastructure support and facility maintenance services. Fead’s expertise lies in procuring specialized building systems, environmental controls, and facility maintenance solutions that align with Air Force standards for operational continuity and safety compliance.
