Bethany S. Hamilton

Bethany S. Hamilton serves as a Contracting Officer for FA4855, 27th Squadron Logistics, under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical infrastructure and facility services essential to air base operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, utilities, and communications systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, as well as water and sewer line systems, supporting the resilience and sustainability of Air Force installations. Hamilton maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a key contractor delivering specialized construction and facility services. Her procurement approach reflects a collaborative, performance-based contracting model, emphasizing quality assurance, schedule adherence, and technical compliance in complex infrastructure projects. She engages with vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory alignment. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This dual approach ensures robust market competition while actively promoting opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and SDVOSB programs, reinforcing the Air Force’s broader small business engagement objectives. Hamilton’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), where she oversees the procurement of HVAC systems, wastewater treatment infrastructure, electrical distribution networks, and secure facility integration services. Her domain knowledge ensures that acquisitions meet stringent military standards for durability, environmental compliance, and mission-critical functionality.
