Elizabeth McKenna

Elizabeth McKenna serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 facility at 21 Cons Bldg 350, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. Her role centers on executing contracts for facility upgrades, integrated electronic systems, and fire safety modernization initiatives that ensure operational readiness across Air Force installations. She specializes in complex, high-stakes procurements involving technical infrastructure, security systems, and facility engineering services, aligning acquisitions with DoD standards for resilience and compliance. McKenna’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain secure, efficient, and future-ready installations through disciplined contracting practices. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility modernization, systems integration, and construction services. McKenna’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering stable, mission-aligned collaborations. McKenna’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her contracting decisions are driven by technical capability, past performance, and mission necessity rather than socioeconomic criteria. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), which, despite its classification, is applied here to support specialized vehicle and mobile asset procurement tied to facility operations, maintenance logistics, and security response capabilities. This unusual but functionally justified application underscores her expertise in adapting procurement categories to meet unique defense infrastructure needs, particularly in mobility and asset support for mission-critical environments.
