Kristen A. O'Hearn

Kristen A. O’Hearn serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3022 14 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisition strategies that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure mission-ready facilities through construction, maintenance, and specialized service contracts, with a focus on life-safety systems, facility upgrades, and operational resilience. She routinely handles complex service and construction-related acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with federal standards and readiness requirements. O’Hearn 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 experienced, niche-capable vendors specializing in facility maintenance, HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and building services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term vendor performance, fostering stable, performance-based relationships that align with installation-wide operational needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, O’Hearn consistently structures solicitations with a Total Small Business Set-Aside rate of 81.8%, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting under FAR 19.5. Her portfolio prioritizes small business eligibility, frequently leveraging set-asides to empower small, locally-based contractors and promote equitable access to federal opportunities. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists), and 327910 (Abrasive Product Manufacturing), which appear to reflect misclassification or data anomalies, as these categories are inconsistent with the agency’s infrastructure mission. However, her actual operational focus aligns with NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), indicating a primary emphasis on facility maintenance, custodial services, and environmental systems support. Her expertise lies in procuring technical building services that ensure compliance, safety, and sustained operational capability across Air Force installations.
