Andrea Caleca

Andrea Caleca serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5682 organization, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary air base infrastructure and tactical communications systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enable global airpower projection through resilient base operations, secure field communications, and facility readiness enhancements. She routinely handles complex service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in engineering, construction, and specialized maintenance, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for mission-critical infrastructure. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with operational readiness goals, prioritizing timely delivery of capabilities that support deployed forces and contingency operations. Caleca maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and LIVINGWORKS EDUCATION USA INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in expeditionary construction, tactical communications support, and personnel readiness training. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with demonstrated performance in high-stakes, time-sensitive environments, often requiring specialized certifications and field-deployable solutions. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on reliability over broad vendor competition. Her procurement strategy exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 93.3% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. Only 6.7% of contracts are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. While she does not frequently deploy 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB set-asides, her occasional use of SDVOSB set-asides reflects a measured commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. Caleca’s portfolio is dominated by NAICS codes 541330 (Engineering Services), 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors), and 238210/238220/238320 (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and painting contractors). She procures specialized construction, infrastructure upgrades, and technical services critical to expeditionary airfield operations, with a focus on durable, deployable, and mission-essential facility systems that meet Air Force standards for rapid deployment and sustained operations.
