Tony Bryant

Tony Bryant serves as the primary procurement lead for the Federal Aviation Administration’s 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services, overseeing mission-critical contracts to sustain and modernize the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and facility support acquisitions essential to the operational readiness of Air Traffic Control Towers and Flight Standard District Offices. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding service contracts under FAR Part 19, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning expenditures with FAA’s safety and modernization priorities. His work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, efficient, and compliant aviation facilities nationwide. Bryant maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, BRICE TERRA LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in aviation facility maintenance, site remediation, and building systems integration. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging past performance and technical capability over price alone, particularly for complex, mission-sensitive projects requiring stringent FAA compliance. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Bryant consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 64% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 24% allocated through 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, particularly those certified under the 8(a) Business Development Program, reinforcing the FAA’s commitment to equitable contracting practices. His technical focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), which accounts for 36% of his portfolio, followed by electrical systems (238210) and commercial building construction (236220). He routinely procures HVAC upgrades, electrical system overhauls, roofing, and site preparation services tailored to federal aviation facilities, demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure modernization within highly regulated aviation environments.
