Jacqueline J. McGee

Jacqueline C. McGee serves as a Contracting Officer with the 436 Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages acquisition strategies critical to sustaining operational readiness at Air Force installations. Her portfolio centers on facility infrastructure and maintenance services essential to mission-critical air base operations, including industrial and commercial construction, specialized painting, and specialty trade contracting. McGee ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering timely, cost-effective solutions that support the resilience of hangars, support facilities, and security systems. She exercises full contracting authority across competitive and non-competitive procurements, aligning acquisitions with Air Force installation modernization and sustainment priorities. McGee maintains a consistent working relationship with OSTROM PAINTING & SANDBLASTING, INC, a primary vendor for surface preparation and protective coating services essential to facility preservation. Her procurement patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships with specialized contractors capable of executing complex industrial maintenance tasks under stringent operational constraints. She prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in military facility environments, emphasizing quality control, safety compliance, and schedule reliability in contractor selection. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 95% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 5% are awarded through the 8(a) program, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. While she occasionally engages 8(a) certified firms, her approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes, with socioeconomic participation occurring selectively based on technical merit and capacity. McGee’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), reflecting her specialization in heavy industrial maintenance and protective coating systems. She also regularly procures services under 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238990 (Other Specialty Trade Contractors), supporting structural repairs, facility upgrades, and security-related modifications. Her technical domain expertise spans facility lifecycle management, corrosion control, and military-grade construction standards, ensuring installations remain operationally viable under demanding conditions.
