Dartamien "Dee" Brown

Dartamien "Dee" Brown serves as a secondary procurement professional within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force supporting Air University’s operational readiness and educational infrastructure. In this role, Brown contributes to the planning, solicitation, and administration of technical and facility-related acquisitions that modernize training environments, enhance audiovisual command systems, and maintain mission-critical infrastructure. While not the lead contracting officer, Brown plays a vital supporting role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and facilitating timely execution of procurements aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities in education technology and facility modernization. Brown collaborates closely with a diverse ecosystem of contractors, including specialty trade firms, building construction vendors, and manufacturers of environmental control systems. Working in coordination with lead contracting personnel, Brown helps evaluate technical proposals, assess vendor capabilities, and ensure alignment with performance specifications—particularly for complex, multi-disciplinary projects involving simulation environments and infrastructure upgrades. Their working relationships are characterized by consistent engagement with small and mid-tier vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across construction, automation, and facility services. Brown demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a pronounced preference for small business set-asides—nearly 53% of acquisitions are designated for total small business participation, including 23.5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 11.8% competed under the 8(a) program. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster local economic development and increase access to federal opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs. The agency’s procurement portfolio is heavily focused on commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236220) and specialty trade contracting (238990), with significant activity in roofing, painting, and environmental control manufacturing. Brown’s expertise lies in managing acquisitions for integrated facility upgrades that support immersive training technologies and mission-critical infrastructure, requiring deep coordination between construction, systems integration, and facility maintenance domains.
