Hazell L. Barnes

Hazell L. Barnes supports the operational readiness mission of the FA3020 82 Cons Lgc, a unit within the Department of the Air Force, by managing procurement activities critical to sustaining air base infrastructure and facility operations. Responsible for executing contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Barnes specializes in acquiring facility support services, environmental systems, and specialized equipment essential to daily mission functionality. Their portfolio emphasizes durable furnishings, maintenance services, and integrated technical systems that ensure the reliability and efficiency of Air Force installations, aligning procurement decisions with strategic modernization goals and mission-critical requirements. Barnes maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Valiant Products Corporation and Logistics365 Inc., both of which provide specialized facility and logistics support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in delivering scalable, mission-aligned solutions, particularly in janitorial, landscaping, and equipment rental domains. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on vendors capable of meeting stringent Air Force standards for quality, timeliness, and compliance. A balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Barnes’ award patterns, with nearly half of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and an additional 14.2% allocated to 8(a) and HUBZone participants. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation while maintaining competitive integrity across the acquisition lifecycle. The use of targeted set-asides demonstrates alignment with Department of Defense goals to broaden the supplier base and enhance resilience through diverse vendor engagement. The primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for nearly half of activity, followed by consumer electronics and appliance rental (532210) and landscaping (561730). Barnes demonstrates technical proficiency in managing service contracts for facility sustainment, waste management, and water systems, ensuring that base operations remain fully supported with reliable, compliant, and mission-ready resources.
