Thomas E. Carrigan

Thomas E. Carrigan serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions critical to sustaining missile field infrastructure and nuclear deterrence operations. He oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for construction, utilities, and facility modernization at remote, high-security launch sites and command facilities. His work ensures the operational resilience of mission-critical defense infrastructure, with a focus on long-term sustainment, security upgrades, and infrastructure modernization under stringent federal compliance standards. Carrigan maintains consistent partnerships with specialized contractors including OLGOONIK SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SAFEWARE INC, all of whom provide niche expertise in defense-critical construction, security systems, and facility maintenance. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in remote site operations, hardened facility construction, and mission-essential utility systems. These relationships are built on technical reliability, security clearances, and demonstrated performance in austere environments. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 69.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Additional awards are allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) firms, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. This pattern supports the development of capable small vendors with the technical capacity to operate in high-security, geographically isolated defense environments. Carrigan’s primary NAICS focus areas include 238190 (building exterior and structural work), 238210 (electrical installation), 238320 (painting and wall covering), and 237310 (highway and bridge construction), alongside 423730 for HVAC equipment procurement. His technical domain expertise lies in the integration of mission-critical infrastructure systems—particularly those supporting nuclear command, control, and communication networks—requiring strict adherence to DoD security and environmental standards.
