Finley maintains a strong working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized construction and facility maintenance services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering collaboration with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-essential infrastructure solutions under tight operational timelines. He routinely engages with contractors possessing deep domain expertise in defense-compatible systems, ensuring technical compliance and lifecycle support throughout contract performance. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while 8(a) competed opportunities account for a modest but consistent share. The majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, reflecting a preference for competitive fairness while still prioritizing small business participation where feasible and appropriate. Finley’s primary NAICS focus areas include Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310), with additional emphasis on roofing, commercial machinery repair, and specialized electronic manufacturing. His technical expertise lies in procuring durable, field-deployable infrastructure components and mission-critical support systems that meet stringent Air Force standards for reliability, security, and environmental compliance.
