Kendra M Strnad

Kendra M. Strnad serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining critical air base infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, facility modernization, and mission-critical support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goals in infrastructure resilience. Her work primarily involves soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for building systems, communications infrastructure, and specialized trade services essential to maintaining airfield and base operations. Strnad maintains a strong working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering complex construction and facility services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade infrastructure projects, while also fostering collaborative partnerships with small businesses that meet stringent technical and compliance requirements. She consistently engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost efficiency. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic objectives, with a pronounced focus on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, followed by HUBZone and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand veteran and underserved community participation in defense-related construction, aligning with broader Department of Defense mandates for equitable contracting opportunities. Strnad’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with significant activity in specialty trade contracting under 238990 and 238390. She routinely procures HVAC systems, wastewater treatment upgrades, secure communications conduits, and architectural design services, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD facility standards and military construction specifications. Her portfolio underscores a commitment to modernizing aging infrastructure through integrated, mission-focused contracting solutions.
