Stephen L Ellison

Stephen L. Ellison serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4801 49 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for aerospace and installation readiness systems. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of advanced avionics, electronic warfare instrumentation, communications infrastructure, and maintenance support equipment essential to Air Force operational capabilities. Ellison manages complex contract actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with national security requirements while aligning procurements with modernization priorities for airbase infrastructure and mission-critical systems. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including UNICO GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS, LLC, FSR CONSULTING LLC, and CERTIFIED STAINLESS SERVICE INC., among others, often engaging firms with specialized expertise in fabricated metal components, security systems services, and power transformer manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical precision, and supply chain resilience, frequently partnering with firms possessing niche capabilities in defense-grade manufacturing and mission support services. Ellison demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no single socioeconomic category dominates, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster competition and innovation among qualified small vendors without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His primary NAICS focus areas include 332999 for miscellaneous fabricated metal products and 335311 for power and specialty transformers, underscoring his technical expertise in procuring ruggedized electrical and structural components for military environments. He also regularly sources security systems services (561621) and specialized manufacturing solutions (339999), reflecting a broad yet precise domain knowledge in supporting Air Force installation resilience and electronic systems sustainment.
