Thomas Peterson

Thomas Peterson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA6675 301 Conf Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical construction and infrastructure contracts that sustain airfield and facility operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for projects essential to maintaining secure, functional, and modernized military installations. He routinely handles complex acquisitions in building construction, mechanical systems, and electrical infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Air Force-specific engineering standards. Peterson maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for facility upgrades and site development tasks. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with established, locally rooted vendors who demonstrate proven capability in delivering high-quality, on-time construction services under stringent military requirements. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence, ensuring seamless execution of infrastructure projects across Air Force installations. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Peterson prioritizes small business participation, with over two-thirds of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively employs HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while leveraging the specialized capabilities of underserved contractor communities. His award patterns consistently align with federal small business goals and mission-driven equity objectives. His technical focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant emphasis on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors). He specializes in procuring integrated building systems, including HVAC, electrical wiring, and structural upgrades for hangars, control towers, and communication facilities, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military facility sustainment and resilience modernization.
