Dedra Blood

Dedra Blood supports the procurement mission of the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure. She oversees contracts for civil engineering, facility maintenance, and utility system upgrades, ensuring Air Force installations remain operationally ready. Her work centers on complex, mission-critical infrastructure projects involving HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems, requiring deep technical oversight and compliance with federal construction and engineering standards. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts to meet dynamic installation needs across multiple bases. Her primary contractor relationships include MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key vendor for specialized mechanical systems and boiler infrastructure upgrades. She maintains long-term, performance-based partnerships with contractors skilled in commercial and institutional construction, building equipment installation, and facility services, emphasizing reliability, safety compliance, and lifecycle asset management. These relationships are cultivated through consistent performance evaluations and contract administration rooted in FAR and AFM guidelines. Dedra’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong inclination toward small business participation, with nearly 30% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster competition and enhance vendor diversity within the civil engineering and facility support sectors. Her technical focus spans NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), reflecting expertise in facility modernization, mechanical system integration, and infrastructure resilience. She also procures supporting services in food service and facility operations, ensuring holistic base sustainment. Her domain expertise lies in integrating technical specifications with operational readiness requirements to deliver mission-critical infrastructure solutions.
