Delene L. Kendrick

Delene L. Kendrick supports the procurement mission of the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she facilitates acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing civil engineering infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her work centers on contracts for facility maintenance, utility system upgrades, and structural improvements—including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building envelope systems—ensuring mission-critical facilities remain operational and resilient. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering services, and maintenance-related procurements aligned with Air Force readiness objectives, often coordinating with civil engineering teams to translate operational needs into compliant, performance-based contract requirements. Kendrick maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key vendor specializing in industrial heating systems and steam infrastructure, reflecting a pattern of long-term engagement with niche technical contractors capable of delivering specialized facility support. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability and technical proficiency, favoring vendors with proven experience in complex mechanical systems and federal facility compliance. While she engages with a limited set of primary contractors, her process supports competitive bidding and performance accountability across the supply chain. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable portion reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while ensuring access to qualified, agile vendors capable of delivering timely, mission-critical services across geographically dispersed installations. Kendrick’s primary NAICS focus includes industrial maintenance, facility systems integration, and specialized engineering services, though her portfolio also encompasses ancillary categories such as local delivery and communications equipment. Her technical expertise lies in procuring solutions for aging infrastructure modernization, with particular emphasis on energy-efficient systems, safety-compliant upgrades, and mission-critical utility resiliency—ensuring Air Force installations meet current operational and regulatory standards.
