Charlene A. Warrior

Charlene A. Warrior serves as a Contract Specialist within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, utilities modernization, security systems, and technical support services essential to national security space operations. Her work ensures the operational readiness of launch and test sites through compliant, timely contracting under FAR and DFARS frameworks, with an emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure resilience and lifecycle sustainment. Charlene routinely collaborates with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT, TECH O. R., LLC, KING FREIGHT LLC, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to procurement, engaging both large-capacity service providers and specialized niche vendors for facility operations, logistics, pest control, and tactical supply needs. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established, performance-based relationships with vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-disciplinary services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement strategy prioritizes broad small business participation, with 30% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 10% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While 60% of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for underserved small businesses without compromising mission requirements. Charlene’s primary NAICS focus spans commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), security systems services (561621), automotive repair (811121), and technical training (611519), reflecting the broad operational needs of a high-security, multi-utility spaceport environment.
