Doris D. Peeples

Doris D. Peeples serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and mission-enabling acquisitions to sustain critical infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Her portfolio centers on facilities modernization, utility system upgrades, and operational readiness support, with a focus on procurement actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. She executes competitive solicitations, negotiates contract terms, and ensures compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, playing a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to maintain resilient airfield and base infrastructure. Peeples maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility systems and support services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC, and ML Armaments LLC. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in plumbing, HVAC, and environmental systems, as well as niche service providers supporting base operations. She fosters collaborative, performance-based partnerships that emphasize quality, timeliness, and compliance with military standards. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Peeples prioritizes HUBZone set-asides in approximately 70% of her acquisitions, reflecting a deliberate strategy to channel opportunities to businesses located in historically underutilized zones. This commitment aligns with Department of Defense mandates to promote geographic economic development and enhance small business participation. The remaining 30% of her awards are conducted as no-set-aside actions, typically for complex or mission-critical requirements requiring broad competition. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), accounting for 70% of her procurement activity, followed by NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction) and NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in procuring integrated mechanical systems, utility infrastructure upgrades, and facility maintenance services essential to sustaining operational readiness across military installations.
