Stephen Pritchett

Stephen Pritchett serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to maintaining mission-ready installations. His portfolio centers on industrial building construction contracts, ensuring compliance with life-safety standards, facility modernization, and base resilience initiatives. Pritchett specializes in full-cycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—focusing on complex, performance-based requirements for construction, HVAC upgrades, and fire protection systems. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to sustain and enhance Air Force infrastructure through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting. Pritchett maintains long-standing relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including DOMINGUEZ & PERSONS, LLC, WEST BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION INC, AIR CONTROL ENGINEERING INC, WESTNET, LLC, and THE STATION INC. These vendors consistently deliver high-quality construction and specialized mechanical systems services, reflecting a pattern of trusted, repeat partnerships built on proven performance and technical expertise. His approach emphasizes accountability, quality control, and adherence to federal construction standards, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize mission outcomes and contract compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Pritchett prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for two-thirds of his awards. This consistent preference underscores his commitment to expanding opportunities for veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The remaining third of his acquisitions are conducted as no-set-aside procurements, typically when competition among SDVOSBs is insufficient or when specialized capabilities require broader market engagement. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in the design-build and renovation of military industrial facilities. He procures services related to structural upgrades, utility system integration, and compliance-driven infrastructure improvements, ensuring all acquisitions meet Air Force engineering specifications and operational readiness requirements.
