Denise Hinojosa

Denise Hinojosa serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and mission-enabling acquisitions, ensuring operational readiness through reliable facility systems, utility enhancements, and secure environmental controls. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in airfield resilience, infrastructure modernization, and base-wide service continuity, requiring precise application of FAR and DFARS compliance across complex contracting vehicles. Hinojosa maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for site development and facility upgrades, Protect Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning, LLC for specialized industrial hygiene services, Access Portable Toilets Inc for temporary sanitation support, and ML Armaments LLC for security and safety-related equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, mission-critical vendors capable of delivering specialized services under tight operational timelines, often in high-security or environmentally sensitive settings. Her procurement strategy emphasizes small business participation, with 54% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, her pattern reflects broad-based inclusion of small businesses across multiple categories, aligning with Air Force mandates to expand vendor diversity and local economic engagement. Hinojosa’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, followed by security systems services (561621), industrial machinery manufacturing (333924), and communications equipment (334220). She procures specialized maintenance services, safety systems, material handling equipment, and mission-support technologies, showcasing deep expertise in facility operations, infrastructure resilience, and defense-adjacent industrial domains.
