Joyce Powers

Joyce Powers serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and specialized technical systems essential to airfield and range operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the facility’s strategic imperatives to sustain aerospace operations and facility resilience. Powers maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC for landscape and grounds maintenance services, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. for specialized construction support, CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for technical integration services, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP for structured cabling and electrical infrastructure. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in complex, mission-aligned environments, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she maintains a strong commitment to small business participation, allocating 25.0% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 8.3% to HUBZone firms. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic goals within the defense acquisition framework. Powers’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her leadership in facility modernization and infrastructure upgrades. She also routinely procures specialty trade services under 238990 and niche manufacturing categories including 332321 (metal window and door systems) and 339114 (dental equipment), underscoring her adaptability across diverse technical domains supporting both operational and ancillary facility needs.
