Bethany K West

Bethany K. West serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA4626 341 Construction Logistics unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing Air Force infrastructure. Her portfolio encompasses civil engineering, utility systems, and facility modernization projects, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural upgrades essential to mission readiness. She executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and lifecycle asset management objectives. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain resilient, safe, and operationally capable installations across the Air Force enterprise. West maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key contractor specializing in mechanical systems and industrial heating infrastructure. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in facility support services, while also fostering partnerships with specialized firms in fabricated metal products, laboratory instrumentation, and airport operations. She prioritizes vendor reliability, technical expertise, and past performance, often leveraging task order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to meet dynamic installation needs. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While a majority of her actions remain open to all competitors, she actively promotes small business participation, particularly among firms certified under standard small business programs. Her pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden the supplier base without compromising technical or schedule requirements. West’s primary NAICS focus includes 238210 for electrical and wiring installations, with significant activity in 332999 for fabricated metal products and 333923 for overhead crane systems. She also procures specialized analytical instruments and airport operations services, indicating expertise in multi-disciplinary facility modernization. Her technical domain spans civil works, mechanical systems integration, and infrastructure resilience, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards and facility life-cycle management.
