Dedra Poitra

Dedra Poitra serves as a Contract Specialist with the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical civil engineering and facility sustainment services essential to mission readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of infrastructure support systems including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and waste management services that maintain the operational integrity of Air Force installations. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Air Force-specific policy directives. Poitra maintains consistent working relationships with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key vendor providing specialized boiler and steam system services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven technical capability in facility infrastructure maintenance, often engaging firms with demonstrated experience in complex utility systems and long-term service delivery. She fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize reliability, safety compliance, and lifecycle cost efficiency. Her procurement strategy includes a balanced approach to socioeconomic set-asides, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for one-third of her awards, reflecting a deliberate commitment to supporting economically distressed communities. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition, she actively leverages HUBZone eligibility to promote geographic diversity and small business participation in mission-critical infrastructure contracts. Poitra’s primary NAICS focus areas—561730 (Landscaping Services), 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution), and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection)—reveal a specialization in environmental and utility services that underpin installation resilience. She procures services related to site maintenance, energy distribution infrastructure, and waste handling systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the intersection of civil engineering, environmental compliance, and operational sustainability in military facility management.
