Helen L. Jordan serves as a Contracting Officer within the 910th Aircraft Maintenance Group at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, operating under the Department of the Air Force. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to sustain and modernize critical airfield infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, utility systems, and protective facilities. Her portfolio centers on construction and specialized engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness and mission assurance. Jordan ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic Air Force infrastructure priorities, overseeing both competitive and sole-source acquisitions for high-stakes, mission-critical projects. Her primary contractor relationships include Charter Communications Operating LLC, with whom she collaborates on telecommunications and utility infrastructure projects, alongside a network of specialty trade contractors delivering electrical, civil, and industrial construction services. Jordan fosters long-term partnerships with vendors possessing proven expertise in military-grade construction standards, emphasizing reliability, safety compliance, and rapid response capabilities. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor accountability, ensuring delivery of resilient infrastructure under demanding operational conditions. Jordan demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for over 30% of her awards and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses receiving nearly 15%.

Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), with significant activity in electrical and heavy civil engineering contracting.
