Katelyn R. Pinto serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to maintaining mission-ready Air Force installations. Her portfolio centers on facilities sustainment, life-safety system upgrades, and specialized maintenance contracts that ensure compliance with federal standards and operational readiness. Pinto executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—primarily for non-construction services that support base resilience and long-term facility integrity. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including DOMINGUEZ & PERSONS, LLC, WEST BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION INC, AIR CONTROL ENGINEERING INC, WESTNET, LLC, and THE STATION INC. These vendors are frequently engaged for facilities support and security systems services, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in Air Force environmental and operational requirements. Pinto’s procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance history over competitive bidding alone, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and mission alignment. Pinto’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her focus remains on securing the highest-quality services through rigorous evaluation criteria that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with military standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services), encompassing HVAC maintenance, fire alarm system upgrades, building automation, access control systems, and integrated security monitoring. Pinto’s technical expertise lies in the intersection of facility operations and life-safety compliance, ensuring that all contracted services meet Air Force installation standards and support continuous operational readiness.
