Wendell B. Simms

Wendell B. Simms serves as Superintendent for FA4418 628 Cons Pk, a critical unit within the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. In this role, he oversees the planning, execution, and contract administration of construction, maintenance, and mission-enabling services essential to operational readiness. His procurement responsibilities span facility upgrades, utility system enhancements, environmental compliance, and airfield infrastructure projects, ensuring that base operations remain resilient and mission-ready. Simms plays a pivotal role in translating strategic infrastructure priorities into actionable acquisition initiatives aligned with Air Force installation support directives. Simms maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in facility support services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and construction, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for specialized environmental hygiene, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related infrastructure support. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche, mission-critical vendors capable of delivering timely, compliant, and high-integrity services under demanding operational conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes. Simms demonstrates a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This uniform preference ensures maximum participation by small businesses, fostering local economic development and enhancing competition among qualified vendors. His procurement patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. While specific NAICS codes are not available, his portfolio centers on facility construction, maintenance, environmental services, and security infrastructure—domains requiring technical expertise in military construction standards, utility system integration, and mission-critical support systems. His expertise lies in delivering scalable, compliant, and resilient base infrastructure through targeted, small business-driven acquisitions.
