Lakisha Holston

Lakisha Holston supports critical procurement operations at the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility, where she facilitates acquisitions essential to sustaining operational readiness at Joint Base Andrews. Her work centers on securing integrated security systems, communications hardware, and facility maintenance services that underpin command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities for air operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions aligned with mission-critical infrastructure needs, ensuring timely delivery of technical and logistical support to maintain high-readiness standards in a dynamic operational environment. Holston maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., reflecting a focus on specialized environmental, material, and industrial services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering niche solutions in hazardous material handling, site remediation, and facility-specific chemical logistics. These collaborations are strategically aligned with the agency’s need for compliant, scalable support services in constrained operational settings. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and significant allocations to women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while ensuring access to qualified, certified small firms capable of meeting stringent defense requirements. Her approach supports broader DoD socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. Holston’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (security systems services), 334220 (radio and telecommunications equipment manufacturing), and 532120 (vehicle leasing and rental), indicating deep engagement with physical security infrastructure, radio frequency systems, and specialized transportation support. Her technical expertise spans the integration of broadcast-grade communications equipment, electromagnetic safety systems, and logistics-enabled asset management—core domains critical to sustaining airfield operations and emergency response readiness.
