Teddy J. M. Varner

Teddy James Maverick Varner serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing facility modernization and infrastructure sustainment initiatives. He manages the full lifecycle of construction and systems integration contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical upgrades to Air Force installations. His portfolio centers on building systems—including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing—as well as structural construction for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities, aligning directly with the agency’s mandate to maintain operational readiness through resilient infrastructure. Varner maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for site development and facility construction services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, fostering performance-based partnerships grounded in quality assurance, timely delivery, and adherence to military construction standards. He actively engages contractors in pre-solicitation outreach and post-award performance reviews to ensure alignment with technical specifications and mission requirements. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity, Varner implements a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside strategy across all his acquisitions, in full compliance with FAR 19.5. He prioritizes participation from small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, ensuring broad opportunity and competitive engagement while strengthening the industrial base supporting Air Force infrastructure needs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336214 (Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing) and 813110 (Religious Organizations), reflecting a unique alignment with specialized modular facility solutions and temporary operational support structures. Though seemingly atypical, these categories support mobile command, housing, and auxiliary service units deployed across remote or expeditionary Air Force sites. Varner’s expertise lies in adapting commercial manufacturing and institutional service models to meet rigorous DoD operational demands.
