Betty A. Rodrigues

Betty A. Rodrigues serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical airpower infrastructure. She manages acquisitions for advanced communications systems, surveillance equipment maintenance, and facility construction essential to command-and-control readiness. Her work ensures the operational reliability of broadcasting, surveillance, and secure data transmission networks across Air Force installations, aligning with strategic priorities to modernize resilient, secure infrastructure. Rodrigues typically handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight in both engineering and logistics domains. Rodrigues cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs and established defense contractors with expertise in aerospace communications and facility modernization. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect a balanced engagement with both large primes and niche specialists capable of delivering specialized technical services. She emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle support, ensuring contractors deliver not only equipment but also integrated maintenance and systems integration capabilities. Her contracting approach demonstrates strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 57% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand access for underrepresented firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her consistent use of these set-asides underscores a proactive effort to build a diverse, resilient supplier base aligned with Department of Defense small business objectives. Rodrigues’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers), which, despite its apparent healthcare alignment, is likely being leveraged for specialized medical diagnostic infrastructure supporting Air Force medical readiness facilities. She also actively procures construction services under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), indicating her role in developing and upgrading physical infrastructure to house advanced communications and surveillance systems. Her technical domain expertise spans integrated facility systems, secure communications architecture, and mission-critical construction standards.
