Amber Molina

Amber A. Molina serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure and facility support services. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring operational readiness at military installations by executing competitive procurements for maintenance, construction, and technical services aligned with Air Force sustainability and safety standards. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facility modernization, HVAC systems, environmental compliance, and base infrastructure support, utilizing FAR-based contracting methods including sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions to meet urgent and long-term operational needs. Molina maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These vendors are frequently engaged for complex facility upgrades, industrial maintenance, and specialized construction tasks requiring high compliance with military specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable firms with proven performance histories, fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships that support mission continuity and quality assurance. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides (70.6%), Molina actively supports small business participation, with nearly 30% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission requirements, aligning socioeconomic goals with operational needs through strategic planning and early market research. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), and 812930 (parking lot and garage construction), reflecting expertise in facility maintenance, specialized equipment installation, and ground infrastructure support. She regularly procures services involving building inspection, automotive repair, and industrial system upgrades, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with Air Force base sustainment domains.
