Caroline L Bachelier

Caroline L. Bachelier serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4803 20 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex construction and infrastructure support contracts critical to maintaining operational readiness at Air Force installations. Her work centers on acquiring facility modernization services, including industrial building construction, HVAC systems, roofing, and sewage treatment infrastructure, ensuring compliance with military standards and resilience requirements. She handles a diverse portfolio of fixed-price and cost-reimbursement acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on long-term sustainment and mission-critical facility upgrades. Bachelier maintains a consistent working relationship with Carolina Ground Service Equipment Inc., a primary contractor delivering specialized ground support and facility maintenance solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capability in military infrastructure, often partnering with firms experienced in Department of Defense compliance, environmental regulations, and rapid deployment logistics. These relationships are built on performance history and technical alignment with Air Force facility sustainment objectives. Her procurement strategy shows balanced engagement with socioeconomic programs, allocating approximately one-third of contracts to small business set-asides, including equal portions for Total Small Business and HUBZone categories. While the majority of awards are unrestricted, her active use of HUBZone set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to stimulating economic development in designated underserved communities while maintaining access to qualified, locally rooted contractors. Bachelier’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), reflecting a strong emphasis on environmental infrastructure modernization, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and NAICS 423120 (Motor Vehicle Supplies and New Parts Merchant Wholesalers). This combination underscores her expertise in procuring both heavy civil infrastructure and specialized logistics support equipment essential to base operations, requiring deep familiarity with defense-specific construction standards and supply chain protocols.
