Iman Dillard

Iman Dillard serves as a Contracting Officer with the Department of the Air Force under FA5270 18 Cons Pk, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain airfield infrastructure and operational readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. Her portfolio focuses on ensuring the integrity of military facilities, rapid airfield damage repair, and the integration of secure communications and facility support systems. Dillard oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—primarily for technical services and specialized equipment essential to force projection and installation resilience. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s strategic imperative to maintain uninterrupted operational capability in contested environments. Dillard maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized facilities maintenance, engineering support, and infrastructure modernization services tailored to military airfield requirements. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, regionally embedded vendors with proven expertise in austere environment operations and compliance with U.S. military standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term service continuity, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 16.7% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small firms while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Dillard’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories centered on communications equipment manufacturing (334220, 334290), computer systems design (541512), custom programming (541511), and specialized facility maintenance services (811219). She routinely procures secure wireless communications hardware, integrated command and control systems, facility automation technologies, and mission-critical maintenance services that enhance airfield resilience and interoperability in expeditionary environments.
