Stephen D. Garrett

Stephen D. Garrett supports the procurement mission of the Department of the Air Force’s FA4460 19 Cons Pka, managing acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across Air Force installations. He oversees a diverse portfolio of facility services contracts, including infrastructure maintenance, environmental system upgrades, and construction-related support to ensure mission-critical base operations remain functional and resilient. His work directly enables the Air Force’s strategic priorities in airfield and roadway integrity, utility modernization, and installation-wide infrastructure resilience, with a focus on performance-based contracting and lifecycle asset management. Garrett maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which deliver specialized facility services ranging from mechanical systems to site rehabilitation. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance with federal construction standards, and adherence to performance metrics defined in performance work statements. These relationships reflect a preference for proven contractors with demonstrated capacity in complex, multi-disciplinary base support environments. His procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 96.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity within the defense supply chain, prioritizing small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories without favoring any single program like 8(a) or HUBZone. The near-total reliance on small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to diversify contractor capacity and enhance local economic impact. Garrett’s primary NAICS focus areas include 611620 (Sports and Recreation Instruction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 721110 (Hotels and Motels), 541990 (Other Professional Services), and 561730 (Landscaping Services). These reflect a broad spectrum of non-military-specific but mission-enabling services essential to daily base operations—from HVAC maintenance and groundskeeping to facility support and technical consulting—demonstrating expertise in procuring integrated, non-combat infrastructure services critical to sustaining Air Force readiness.
