Alyson R. Kolding

Alyson R. Kolding serves as a Contract Specialist within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions focused on facility maintenance, utilities modernization, security systems, and technical support services essential to operational readiness. Her work ensures the physical and logistical resilience of national security space assets, coordinating acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines to meet stringent mission requirements while adhering to federal compliance standards. Kolding maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for specialized technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for mission-critical supply chain solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-constrained environments, emphasizing reliability, responsiveness, and compliance with security protocols. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 42.9% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals. While no set-aside programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity and foster local economic engagement in support of national defense infrastructure. Kolding’s primary NAICS focus includes Educational Support Services and Computer Training, reflecting her involvement in workforce development and technical upskilling for space operations personnel. She also procures niche services in apparel manufacturing, toy production, and specialized maintenance—indicating support for unique mission-specific needs such as custom uniforms, training aids, and facility-specific equipment. Her expertise lies in bridging operational requirements with compliant, mission-tailored acquisitions across unconventional yet critical domains.
