Capt Michelle Batts

Michelle N. Batts serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain mission-critical Air Force infrastructure. She oversees contracts for specialized facility maintenance, medical support systems, and industrial equipment services essential to operational readiness. Her work ensures installations remain technologically current, safe, and fully functional, with a focus on procurement strategies that align with Air Force modernization priorities in communications, environmental systems, and facility engineering. Batts handles a diverse portfolio of service-based and equipment-related acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, often involving technical specifications for industrial and medical-grade systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC., many of which provide niche expertise in facility repair, HVAC systems, and industrial equipment maintenance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based service agreements with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in supporting Air Force-specific operational environments. Batts demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 78.3% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation. While 8(a) competed awards represent a smaller portion, her portfolio consistently includes HUBZone and SDVOSB-eligible vendors, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals to expand access for underrepresented small businesses. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 333923 for overhead crane systems, 333415 for commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment, and 811310 for industrial machinery repair and maintenance. These reflect a technical specialization in facility infrastructure sustainment, with acquisitions targeting precision-engineered systems critical to airfield and base operations. Her expertise lies in procuring complex, safety-sensitive equipment and services that support mission continuity across deployed and garrisoned installations.
