Gina Thomas

Gina Thomas serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc, a civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment unit under the Department of the Air Force. She manages the acquisition of critical facility systems essential to mission readiness, overseeing contracts for industrial construction, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure upgrades across Air Force installations. Her work ensures the operational resilience of base utilities and building systems, aligning with the agency’s mandate to modernize aging infrastructure while maintaining strict compliance with federal construction and facility maintenance standards. She handles a high volume of task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on performance-based outcomes and lifecycle asset management. Thomas maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a specialized contractor with deep expertise in industrial boiler systems and steam distribution networks. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for long-term, performance-driven vendor partnerships that deliver integrated facility services, particularly in complex mechanical systems. She collaborates closely with contractors to ensure adherence to technical specifications for HVAC integration, energy efficiency, and building code compliance, fostering reliable, repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in military-grade infrastructure environments. She exclusively employs Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, ensuring 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate, agency-aligned strategy to maximize economic opportunity and foster local industrial capacity, with no use of other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—consistent with a pure small business set-aside model. Her procurement focus is evenly split between NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring her technical expertise in heavy civil infrastructure and mechanical systems. She procures turnkey solutions for boiler replacements, ductwork retrofits, chilled water systems, and structural upgrades, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards, NFPA codes, and Department of Defense facility sustainment requirements.
