Wilson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-enabling services and infrastructure support at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD regulatory frameworks. She specializes in construction, facility maintenance, and operational support contracts critical to sustaining airfield readiness, utility systems, and environmental compliance, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in base resilience and modernization. Wilson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site and infrastructure development, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for facility hygiene services, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for specialized equipment procurement. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that deliver mission-critical capabilities under tight operational timelines. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wilson consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with over half of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, supplemented by HUBZone set-asides. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged firms, aligning with DOD’s broader goals for equitable access and workforce development in defense contracting. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 423450 for medical and hospital equipment wholesaling, 423830 for industrial machinery, and 334519 and 333922 for specialized measuring, control, and conveying systems. She also frequently procures automotive repair and maintenance services under 811121, demonstrating technical fluency in both facility operations and niche industrial supply chains essential to military readiness.
