Lauren Nicole Shetley serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization acquisitions. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for civil engineering and construction projects critical to Air Force mission readiness, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems. Her portfolio emphasizes compliance with federal acquisition regulations and the strategic alignment of contracts with installation-wide resilience and safety objectives, ensuring timely delivery of essential infrastructure upgrades across operational bases. Shetley maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a key contractor specializing in mechanical systems and industrial maintenance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility-specific repairs and upgrades, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and technical proficiency. She engages with a focused pool of contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical work under stringent military standards, often coordinating with project engineers to align deliverables with technical specifications. A dedicated advocate for small business participation, Shetley applies a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside policy across her acquisition portfolio, ensuring full compliance with FAR 19.5 and maximizing opportunities for small businesses to contribute to national defense infrastructure. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes inclusive competition, enabling small businesses to compete equitably for high-impact construction and maintenance contracts without requiring set-asides for specific categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, while still promoting broad small business engagement. Her primary NAICS focus includes 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction, 237310 for highway and bridge infrastructure, 237130 for power and communication line systems, and 811310 for industrial machinery repair and maintenance. This technical specialization reflects her expertise in procuring integrated facility services that support both operational continuity and long-term asset sustainability across Air Force installations.
