Taylor Keefer

Taylor Keefer serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize military infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Keefer oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, facility maintenance, and operational support services, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. Their portfolio emphasizes mission-enabling services, utility system enhancements, and environmental compliance, with a focus on delivering resilient, secure, and mission-ready facilities through compliant and efficient procurement practices. Keefer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site and infrastructure development, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for facility hygiene services, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation support, and ML Armaments LLC for specialized security and defense-related equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in military-grade service delivery, often engaging firms with experience in high-security, time-sensitive environments and specialized regulatory compliance. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Keefer’s socioeconomic contracting strategy, with 68.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on broadening vendor diversity. An additional 5.3% of awards are competed under the 8(a) program, demonstrating targeted support for economically disadvantaged small businesses. The low rate of no-set-aside awards underscores a strategic prioritization of small business inclusion across the acquisition spectrum. Keefer’s primary NAICS focus areas include 561990 (All Other Support Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in facility sustainment, infrastructure modernization, and specialized aviation support systems. Their procurement activity centers on services and products that directly enable airfield operations, utility reliability, and environmental compliance, reinforcing the unit’s mission to maintain operational readiness through resilient base infrastructure.
