Darlyne Thompson

Darlyne Thompson serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the Space Systems Command’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Responsible for managing facility support services acquisitions, she ensures the operational readiness of launch and test site environments through the procurement of maintenance, utilities, security, and technical support solutions. Her work directly enables national security space operations by securing essential services that maintain mission-critical infrastructure resilience. Thompson routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, with a focus on performance-based service acquisition methodologies. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility operations, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental health services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, and KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure sustainment and rapid-response capabilities tailored to secure, high-tempo operational environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and mission alignment over price alone. Thompson’s procurement portfolio is fully aligned with small business set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and locally-based service providers. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation without reliance on other socioeconomic categories, reinforcing a streamlined, inclusive acquisition strategy. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing janitorial, groundskeeping, pest control, security, utility maintenance, and facility repair services. She procures specialized support tailored to sensitive aerospace environments, requiring adherence to strict security protocols and environmental compliance standards, demonstrating deep domain expertise in sustaining mission-critical space operations infrastructure.
