William E Simpkins

William E. Simpkins serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility infrastructure and support service acquisitions critical to maintaining operational readiness at Air Force installations. His portfolio centers on sustaining mission-critical building systems—including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure—while supporting facility modernization, grounds maintenance, and specialized repair services. He executes contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with defense infrastructure priorities and lifecycle management standards. His acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts for maintenance, renovation, and technical support, with a strong emphasis on reliability, safety, and long-term facility resilience. Simpkins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC, and ACTION CONSTRUCTION AUSTIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, regionally based firms with proven expertise in military facility support, electrical systems, and mechanical service. His contracting patterns indicate a focus on established vendors with demonstrated performance in complex, high-stakes environments, often leveraging indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to respond rapidly to facility needs. Simpkins demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 35.3% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition among qualified small firms, aligning with Air Force socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 238210 for electrical contracting and wiring installation, complemented by significant activity in 561210 for facilities support services. He also regularly procures specialized services under 541512 for computer systems design and 561110 for office administrative support, indicating a broad but mission-aligned technical scope that bridges physical infrastructure with operational enablers essential to Air Force installation readiness.
