Iman Dillard

Iman Dillard serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA5702 379 Econs, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining expeditionary air base operations. In this role, Dillard manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical facility sustainment, equipment maintenance, and logistical enablers essential to operational readiness. Their acquisitions focus on ensuring the integrity of airfield infrastructure and the reliability of support systems at overseas and forward-deployed locations, requiring precise application of FAR and DFARS regulations. Dillard typically handles service-based contracts and specialized equipment procurements that directly support air operations continuity and force projection capabilities. Dillard maintains a broad vendor engagement strategy, working with a diverse range of contractors across manufacturing and waste management sectors. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Dillard consistently engages with firms capable of delivering technical solutions for airfield maintenance systems and environmental compliance services. Their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and contract administration grounded in quality assurance and delivery timelines, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate operational agility and compliance with military standards. Dillard’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation is not excluded—vendors of all sizes are evaluated on merit, responsiveness, and past performance. The absence of set-asides suggests a mission-driven prioritization of speed, scalability, and specialized expertise in high-tempo operational environments. The primary NAICS focus areas are 339920 for sporting and athletic goods manufacturing and 562998 for miscellaneous waste management services. These reflect the unique dual need for durable, high-performance gear used in field operations and environmentally compliant waste handling solutions at austere installations. Dillard’s expertise lies in bridging these disparate domains—procuring specialized equipment for training and readiness while ensuring compliance with DoD environmental stewardship requirements. Their technical domain spans both industrial manufacturing standards and military environmental regulations.
