Liezel McIntyre

Liezel McIntyre serves as a key procurement support specialist within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, contributing to the sustainment and modernization of critical missile field and launch facility infrastructure. Though holding a secondary role, she plays an integral part in executing acquisition strategies that ensure operational readiness of remote nuclear deterrence assets, including command systems, utilities, and hardened facilities. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract administration, evaluating technical requirements, and facilitating compliance with federal acquisition regulations for maintenance, construction, and specialized repair services essential to mission-critical defense infrastructure. McIntyre maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-unique environments, particularly those capable of delivering secure, remote-site services such as facility maintenance, electronic system repair, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, security compliance, and technical adaptability, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in performance and regulatory adherence. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 82% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While women-owned small business set-asides are limited, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diversified contractor base capable of supporting geographically isolated defense installations. This pattern aligns with Department of the Air Force directives to enhance economic inclusion and workforce development in underserved regions. McIntyre’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 811210 (electronic equipment maintenance), 236220 (commercial building construction), and 238330 (flooring contractors). These reflect a technical domain requiring precision maintenance of hardened facilities, utility systems, and security-critical environments, where specialized skills in non-standard construction and mission-essential repairs are paramount to sustaining nuclear deterrence operations.
