Lauren Havens

Lauren Havens serves as a key procurement lead within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical national security space infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Responsible for managing facility sustainment and technical support acquisitions, she oversees contracts that maintain and modernize mission-critical utilities, security systems, and specialized construction environments essential for launch and test operations. Her portfolio focuses on mission-critical infrastructure services requiring high reliability and compliance with DoD standards, ensuring uninterrupted support for space operations through timely and compliant contracting actions. Havens maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and facility upgrades, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical maintenance support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized tactical equipment. These relationships reflect a pattern of long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors capable of delivering niche, mission-essential services under stringent security and operational constraints. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 75% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no specific set-aside program is dominant, her portfolio consistently channels opportunities to small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and veteran-owned firms, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to foster competitive, diverse supplier networks. Havens’ primary NAICS focus areas include 238990 (all other specialty trade contractors), 238210 (electrical installation), 314110 (carpet and rug mills), and 339920 (sporting and athletic goods manufacturing), reflecting a unique blend of facility maintenance, environmental controls, and specialized material procurement. Her expertise lies in acquiring integrated infrastructure services that support secure, high-reliability space operations, requiring deep technical understanding of facility systems and compliance with DoD installation standards.
