Caroline Liddy

Caroline Liddy serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining aerospace operational readiness at remote and expeditionary sites. Her responsibilities center on securing infrastructure modernization, preventive maintenance systems, and mission-enabling construction equipment to ensure airfield functionality and industrial asset reliability. She specializes in sole-source and competitive contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, with a focus on rapid-response procurements aligned with contingency operations and force protection requirements. Liddy maintains a consistent working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized construction machinery and support systems tailored to austere environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in heavy equipment maintenance, field-deployable infrastructure, and ruggedized mechanical systems. She prioritizes vendors with demonstrated experience in military-grade engineering standards and rapid logistics support, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with military specifications. Her procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business goals, as 100% of her awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring maximum participation by small, independently owned firms. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic equity and capacity building within the defense industrial base, particularly for businesses capable of delivering specialized construction equipment and maintenance services under tight timelines. Liddy’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 333120 — Construction Machinery Manufacturing — encompassing the acquisition of earthmoving equipment, compactors, excavators, and related maintenance kits designed for high-tempo, off-grid operations. Her domain expertise includes procurement of machinery certified to MIL-STD and DoD environmental resilience standards, ensuring equipment interoperability and durability across expeditionary airfields and forward operating locations.
