Dawn Bloome

Dawn Bloome serves as the primary procurement lead for the 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services under the Federal Aviation Administration, overseeing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting the operation, maintenance, and construction of Air Traffic Control Towers, Flight Standard District Offices, and associated aviation facilities. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding service contracts that ensure regulatory compliance, operational readiness, and technical integrity across FAA-owned infrastructure, with a focus on mission-critical technical and construction-related services. Bloome maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in aviation facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and site development services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance with federal acquisition regulations and quality assurance protocols. Bloome’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s mandate to prioritize mission-critical readiness. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on merit, technical qualification, and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325992, which encompasses photographic film, paper, plate, chemical, and copy toner manufacturing—indicating a significant need for specialized chemical and imaging supplies used in aviation documentation and inspection systems. She also routinely procures services under NAICS 541519, covering other computer-related services, demonstrating expertise in IT support for air traffic control systems, data management, and facility automation technologies.
