Troy Darling

Troy Darling serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4686 9 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to maintaining installation readiness and infrastructure resilience. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for facility maintenance, security systems, administrative support, and specialized manufacturing services. Darling plays a pivotal role in ensuring Air Force bases remain operationally sustainable through timely and compliant procurement actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical priorities. His primary contractor relationships center on RESTORED CLOUD INC, with whom he has developed a consistent working partnership across multiple contract vehicles. While he engages with a range of vendors, his procurement patterns reflect a strategic emphasis on agile, technology-enabled service providers capable of delivering integrated facility support solutions. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and vendor accountability within defined task order frameworks. Darling demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He routinely utilizes small business set-asides to foster participation from disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. His consistent use of small business preferences underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, mission-ready small business ecosystem. His procurement focus is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: 561110 (Office Administrative Services), 611710 (Educational Support Services), 561621 (Security Systems Services), and 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing). These reflect a blend of facility operations support, training infrastructure, physical security enhancements, and specialized architectural components. Darling’s expertise lies in integrating these disparate service domains into cohesive, base-wide sustainment strategies that uphold operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
