Jodi McCallum

Jodi McCallum serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 facility, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for systems essential to operational readiness. She specializes in procuring advanced electronic, communication, and facility infrastructure solutions that support secure, resilient Air Force installations, with a focus on fire safety modernization, integrated communications, and facility upgrades aligned with DoD standards. McCallum maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated capability in delivering complex technical solutions, from electronic component manufacturing to site development and business services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of her acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 16.7% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition and capability while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to national defense objectives. Her procurement focus is concentrated in four key NAICS categories: 511210 (Software Publishers), 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing). She routinely acquires custom software solutions, embedded electronic systems, secure wireless communication hardware, and specialized non-wood office furnishings, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense-grade IT infrastructure and facility modernization requirements.
