Jaclyn J Yates

Jaclyn J. Yates supports the mission of the 94th Contracting Flight at FA6703 by managing critical procurement actions that sustain and modernize Air Force installation infrastructure. Responsible for acquiring facility services, utility upgrades, and construction-related support, she ensures operational readiness through timely and compliant contracting solutions aligned with Department of Defense standards. Her portfolio emphasizes maintenance, energy resilience, and environmental compliance, focusing on contracts that enhance airfield functionality and base-wide utilities. Yates operates within a high-stakes environment where mission continuity depends on reliable, code-compliant infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS regulatory frameworks. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including K.C. Electrical Construction, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, MSAB, LLC, Hollek Engineering LLC, and Federal Contracts LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally rooted firms capable of executing complex facility and utility projects under tight operational timelines. Yates fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in technical proficiency and adherence to safety and environmental protocols, ensuring delivery of mission-critical services without disruption to active installations. Her contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with approximately 77.8% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while maintaining a steady 22.2% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic emphasis on broad market access while actively enabling small business participation across multiple socioeconomic categories, consistent with DoD goals for vendor diversity and economic resilience. Yates’ procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), construction equipment rental (532412), medical equipment wholesale (423450), hotel and lodging services (721110), and aeronautical system manufacturing (334511). These reflect a unique blend of facility support, logistics, and specialized technical services essential to sustaining base operations—from HVAC and electrical maintenance to temporary housing and mission-critical instrumentation procurement.
