Joyce Slaven

Joyce serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support systems essential to mission-ready Air Force installations. Responsible for managing construction, maintenance, and specialized technical service contracts, Joyce ensures compliance with federal standards for life-safety systems, environmental controls, and facility modernization. Their work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in base resilience, HVAC upgrades, and fire alarm system enhancements, with a focus on delivering reliable, long-term solutions through competitive contracting practices. Joyce maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DOMINGUEZ & PERSONS, LLC, WEST BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION INC, AIR CONTROL ENGINEERING INC, WESTNET, LLC, and THE STATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in facility construction, mechanical systems integration, and IT-enabled facility management. Procurements are typically structured as performance-based contracts, emphasizing quality assurance, lifecycle support, and adherence to military construction specifications such as UFC and NFPA standards. Joyce’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of all contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5 and the other half awarded as open competitions. This approach ensures broad market participation while maintaining competitive rigor. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster vendor diversity and capacity building within the defense supply base. The agency’s procurement portfolio is heavily focused on NAICS 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly) and 333413 (Industrial Fan and Air Purification Equipment), indicating strong demand for electronic subsystems and environmental control hardware. Additional activity in NAICS 334511 and 334519 underscores expertise in avionics-related sensors and precision control devices. Joyce’s technical domain spans facility automation, air quality systems, and mission-critical electronic assemblies, requiring deep familiarity with DoD technical specifications and supply chain security requirements.
