Linda Hatfield

Linda Hatfield serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA6670 914 AW LGC under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical facilities and infrastructure support services essential to mission readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts that ensure the operational sustainability of military installations, with a focus on environmental services, waste management, and facility maintenance. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement actions with Air Force strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contracting practices that support secure and habitable operational environments. Linda maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including La Salle Hospitality Inc. and Paradigm Environmental Services, Inc., both of which provide specialized custodial, waste collection, and environmental support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor partnerships, and service reliability over transient vendor transitions. These relationships reflect a preference for proven contractors with demonstrated capability in delivering mission-critical support under demanding operational conditions, often involving sensitive or high-traffic military installations. Linda’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical merit, capacity, and performance history rather than socioeconomic categorizations, suggesting a procurement strategy centered on mission necessity and service continuity rather than socioeconomic program objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and NAICS 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), reflecting a specialized domain in facility support services critical to garrison sustainability. She routinely acquires waste management, laundry, and sanitation services tailored to military housing, dining, and operational facilities, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental compliance, logistical coordination, and service-level agreement enforcement within federal installation environments.
