Ted Arneson

Ted Arneson serves as a secondary procurement professional within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. He contributes to the acquisition lifecycle for facility construction, maintenance, and building systems integration, with a focus on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing services. His role involves coordinating contract execution for commercial, institutional, and industrial construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and technical specifications for mission-critical infrastructure. Arneson works closely with primary contracting officers to validate requirements, manage solicitation documentation, and ensure alignment with installation readiness goals. His primary contractor relationship is with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted vendor delivering site development and construction services under long-term performance-based agreements. Arneson’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated expertise in military facility upgrades, fostering consistent, performance-driven partnerships that prioritize quality control, safety compliance, and timely delivery across complex construction environments. Arneson supports a strong small business orientation, with over half of the agency’s acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms while maintaining competitive integrity. His involvement in socioeconomic contracting ensures alignment with Department of the Air Force goals to expand vendor diversity and strengthen regional economic resilience. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 532412 (construction machinery leasing) and 811310 (commercial/industrial machinery repair), indicating a technical emphasis on equipment support and facility systems maintenance. He also engages with NAICS 611710 and 333310, reflecting ancillary procurement for educational support services and specialized machinery manufacturing. This blend underscores his expertise in integrated facility operations, where construction, maintenance, and equipment lifecycle management converge to support Air Force mission continuity.
