Andrea Bauer

Andrea Bauer serves as a Contract Administrator for FA4613 90 Cons Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a critical role in sustaining mission-critical infrastructure for nuclear deterrence operations. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for remote missile field and launch facility sustainment, including electrical systems, specialized construction, and heavy-gauge metal components. Her work ensures the operational resilience of hardened infrastructure across geographically dispersed sites, aligning procurement activities with Air Force readiness mandates and defense infrastructure modernization priorities. Andrea maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc., firms known for their expertise in defense-grade construction, security systems integration, and specialized maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency and mission-specific compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of operating in austere, high-security environments. These relationships are built on demonstrated capability in delivering complex, low-volume, high-reliability solutions under stringent regulatory and safety standards. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable emphasis on Women-Owned Small Businesses. While approximately half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance industrial base resilience within the defense supply chain. Andrea’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 for electrical installation, 335999 for specialized electrical components, and 237120 for pipeline and related infrastructure construction. She frequently procures heavy-gauge metal tanks (332420) and mission-critical textile products (314999) for environmental and safety containment systems. Her technical domain expertise lies in securing and modernizing hardened, remote defense infrastructure requiring precision engineering, radiation-hardened components, and compliance with Department of Defense environmental and security protocols.
