Hanae Phillips

Hanae Phillips serves as a key procurement lead within the FA5215 766 Ess Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing technical and infrastructure contracts that sustain airpower readiness. Her work centers on acquiring specialized plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning services critical to maintaining mission-critical base operations, ensuring environmental control systems meet stringent military standards for reliability and energy efficiency. She executes acquisitions under full and open competition with a strict small business set-aside framework, aligning with the agency’s mandate to modernize facility infrastructure while supporting national defense readiness goals. Phillips maintains a focused contractor relationship with ARCTEC ALASKA JV, the primary vendor for HVAC and facility systems integration across austere and remote operating environments. Her procurement strategy emphasizes long-term performance-based partnerships with firms possessing proven expertise in military-grade climate control systems, thermal management, and facility resilience under extreme conditions. While ARCTEC ALASKA JV dominates her portfolio, she also engages with a small number of additional vendors to ensure competition and continuity of supply, fostering a disciplined vendor management approach grounded in FAR compliance and performance metrics. Her contracting activity is fully aligned with a 100% Small Business Set-Aside mandate under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate and consistent commitment to socioeconomic empowerment. All awards are reserved exclusively for small businesses, reinforcing the agency’s strategic priority to cultivate a robust, diverse supplier base capable of supporting expeditionary and garrisoned operations. This pattern underscores a deliberate institutional preference for small business innovation and capacity building within the defense infrastructure sector. Phillips specializes exclusively in NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—procuring turnkey HVAC systems, refrigeration units, ductwork installations, and building automation controls tailored for high-security military installations. Her technical domain expertise lies in integrating energy-efficient, climate-resilient systems into aging and newly constructed facilities, ensuring compliance with DoD sustainability directives and operational continuity standards.
