Thaddeus Faxon

Thaddeus Faxon serves as the Contracting Officer for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Kits within the FA3010 81 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining medical readiness and modernizing diagnostic capabilities. In this role, he manages the acquisition of clinical laboratory testing systems and associated reagents essential to force health protection and operational medical support. His procurement portfolio centers on high-compliance, regulatory-sensitive medical devices, ensuring alignment with FDA and DoD medical standards. Faxon’s work directly enables field-deployable diagnostic capabilities, supporting both garrison and expeditionary medical operations through timely, technically sound contract actions. Faxon maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in medical instrumentation and facility services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, and TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of direct medical supply procurement and infrastructure support critical to laboratory setup and maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical delivery timelines, fostering long-term vendor collaborations built on technical expertise and performance accountability. Faxon’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to ensure rapid access to certified, high-performance diagnostic solutions without restriction, prioritizing technical capability and supply chain resilience over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all vendors must meet stringent FDA and DoD quality assurance requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), indicating deep engagement with IVD kit development, point-of-care testing platforms, and laboratory automation systems. Secondary activity in NAICS 339113 and 811310 underscores support for ancillary medical supplies and maintenance of diagnostic equipment.
