Kristen Rodgers

Kristen Rodgers serves as the primary procurement lead for the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, overseeing mission-critical infrastructure and facility support contracts at military installations. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical services, she ensures compliance with DoD standards for operational readiness, environmental safety, and facility modernization. Her acquisitions span facility upgrades, electrical systems, and support services essential to sustaining air base operations, with a strong emphasis on timely execution and regulatory adherence. Rodgers plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting activities with the Air Force’s broader infrastructure resilience goals. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven experience in military construction and technical services. Rodgers fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, prioritizing contractors with demonstrated capacity to deliver complex, time-sensitive projects under stringent security and safety protocols. Rodgers demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 50% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, and an additional 12.5% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to fostering competition while ensuring access for qualified disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms, consistent with DoD mandates for equitable opportunity in federal procurement. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 238210 (electrical contractors), 511210 (software publishing), 561920 (convention and trade show organizers), 713990 (recreational services), and 812331 (linen supply), indicating a broad scope of support services beyond traditional construction. This reflects her role in procuring both hard infrastructure and ancillary operational services critical to sustaining daily base functions and personnel readiness.
