Cindy M Parks

Cindy M. Parks serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and technical services essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for facility sustainment, communications systems, and cyber-enabled infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring that physical and digital assets supporting Air Force installations meet stringent security, reliability, and resilience standards, with a focus on HVAC, electrical, and secure computing environments. Parks handles a diverse portfolio of negotiated and competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 15 and Part 19, balancing technical complexity with regulatory compliance. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC., who provide specialized engineering, construction, and IT support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in mission-critical environments, often requiring security clearances and experience with DoD facility standards. Parks fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize accountability, technical precision, and timely delivery. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic goals, with 50% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and 8.3% allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for veteran-owned and small businesses while maintaining high performance standards. A significant portion of her portfolio operates under no set-aside, indicating flexibility to source best-value solutions from larger, qualified vendors when necessary. Cindy’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), aligning with her agency’s mandate to modernize physical infrastructure and secure IT environments. She routinely procures integrated facility services, climate control systems, and cyber-resilient computing solutions, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD facility engineering standards and information assurance requirements.
