Beverly Stevens

Beverly Stevens serves as a Contract Specialist with FA4417 1 Socons, a critical acquisition unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing airpower capabilities. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for advanced communications systems, aeronautical navigation equipment, and integrated base defense technologies. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure that enhances secure, resilient air operations. Stevens specializes in complex, technically demanding contracts requiring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provisions and cybersecurity standards for classified and sensitive systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including AANTILIA LLC, MARRERO, COUVILLON & ASSOCIATES, L.L.C., MATTHES PARKER LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and WALCO ENTERPRISES INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense communications, systems integration, and logistics support for military installations. Stevens fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting environments, emphasizing deliverables tied to technical specifications and mission outcomes rather than transactional procurement. Stevens demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust small business industrial base capable of supporting specialized defense requirements. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to expand equitable access to federal opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists) and NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), which, while seemingly atypical, align with niche requirements for specialized audio systems used in ceremonial operations, base morale programs, and religious services at military installations. These categories support non-combat but mission-enabling functions that contribute to service member readiness and quality of life, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the full spectrum of air force operational needs.
