Edsa L. Artates

Edsa L. Artates serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc, a civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment unit under the Department of the Air Force. Responsible for managing acquisitions that support the operational readiness of Air Force installations, Artates oversees contracts for the maintenance, repair, and modernization of critical facility systems—including HVAC, electrical networks, plumbing, and structural infrastructure. Their work ensures that mission-critical facilities remain safe, compliant, and resilient, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities in civil engineering and utility system sustainability. Artates typically handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on service-based and specialized equipment procurement. Artates maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a primary contractor for industrial machinery repair and facility system maintenance. This partnership reflects a pattern of engaging specialized vendors with deep technical expertise in commercial and industrial equipment servicing. The procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and long-term performance, with a preference for contractors who demonstrate proven experience in Air Force facility environments and compliance with military installation standards. While the majority of acquisitions (75%) are conducted without set-asides, Artates demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition and capability while actively supporting small business growth within the defense infrastructure sector. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, underscoring expertise in facility systems upkeep. Additional focus areas include NAICS 611430 for professional training services and NAICS 335311 for power transformer manufacturing, indicating a technical domain spanning both service delivery and specialized electrical infrastructure. Artates’ work ensures that Air Force installations maintain operational continuity through precision procurement of mission-critical support systems.
