Lohman serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA6633 934 Aw Pk organization, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support facilities essential to airpower readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for construction, renovation, and maintenance projects at military installations. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense standards while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility sustainment and modernization. Lohman typically handles complex, multi-year contracts for civil engineering, building construction, and utility system upgrades, requiring close coordination with engineers, project managers, and compliance officers. Lohman maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for site development and institutional building projects. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade construction and infrastructure rehabilitation. She engages with a mix of large, experienced firms and small business partners, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on performance reliability, regulatory adherence, and mission alignment. Lohman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 60% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 8.9% are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to broaden contractor diversity. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business inclusion while maintaining rigorous performance standards, aligning with Department of Defense initiatives to enhance resilience through supplier base diversity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238190 (Other Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors), with significant activity in 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). She specializes in acquiring services related to airfield surfaces, utilities, security systems, and structural enhancements, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with DoD facility standards and construction methodologies critical to operational readiness.
