Iman Dillard

Iman N. Dillard serves as a Contracting Officer at the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing procurements critical to sustaining operational readiness at Joint Base Andrews. Her portfolio centers on acquiring integrated security systems, radio and broadcasting hardware, and audiovisual infrastructure to support command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities essential for air operations. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with national defense priorities while maintaining rigorous oversight of technical specifications and delivery timelines. Dillard maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., primarily engaging them for specialized infrastructure support, environmental compliance services, and chemical handling solutions tied to facility sustainment. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering partnerships grounded in technical expertise and regulatory adherence rather than transactional volume. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business participation. The majority of her acquisitions, however, are competed without set-asides, indicating a preference for open competition when technical requirements demand broad market capability or specialized industrial base access. Dillard’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334220, where she procures radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment critical to secure air operations. She also regularly acquires services under NAICS 811219 for specialized repair and maintenance of electronic systems. Her technical expertise spans RF systems, encrypted communications platforms, and integrated AV control architectures, positioning her as a subject matter expert in mission-critical communications infrastructure procurement within the Department of Defense.
