She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for facility services, environmental remediation, and specialized waste management solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s mandate to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally compliant installations through timely and compliant contracting actions. Hodgdon maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in hazardous waste handling, facility maintenance systems, and technical environmental services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to align vendor capabilities with mission-critical requirements. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her actions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor and ensuring access to specialized technical capabilities. Hodgdon’s primary focus is on NAICS 562998 — All Other Miscellaneous Waste Management Services — encompassing the procurement of specialized waste treatment, remediation equipment, and facility-based environmental services.
