Hilary L Naquin

Hilary L. Naquin serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4661 7 Cons Cd unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility sustainment and mission-enabling acquisitions critical to Air Force installation readiness. Her work centers on securing specialized trade services that maintain and modernize critical infrastructure—including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and utility systems—across both garrison and expeditionary environments. She plays a pivotal role in executing contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure operational continuity through resilient infrastructure, overseeing the full lifecycle of service-based acquisitions from requirement development to contract award and administration. Naquin cultivates partnerships with a diverse pool of specialty trade contractors, primarily focused on small and mid-sized firms capable of delivering complex, performance-based facility maintenance and repair services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, locally responsive vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure standards. She engages regularly with firms possessing deep experience in Department of Defense facility codes and sustainability requirements, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with nearly one-third of awards designated for HUBZone-certified small businesses and over 16 percent reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The remaining awards, while not set-aside, still favor small business participation through subcontracting requirements and mentor-protégé arrangements, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. Naquin’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 238990—All Other Specialty Trade Contractors—reflecting her deep specialization in non-residential, mission-critical facility services. She procures niche capabilities such as airfield pavement repair, utility system upgrades, and energy-efficient retrofits, requiring contractors with technical proficiency in military construction standards, OSHA compliance, and DoD environmental regulations. Her domain expertise lies in bridging operational needs with contractor capabilities to sustain Air Force infrastructure under demanding operational conditions.
