Linda R Chatman

Linda R. Chatman serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness across Air Force installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility sustainment, IT modernization, and essential support services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the Air Force’s priorities in communications resilience and base infrastructure. Her work spans technical services, equipment procurement, and facility-related contracts, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS compliance, performance-based contracting, and lifecycle management of mission-enabling assets. Chatman maintains consistent working relationships with IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, both of which provide specialized services in facility fit-outs, IT infrastructure, and technical support solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in delivering integrated, mission-critical systems, often involving complex requirements for security, interoperability, and rapid deployment. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-driven evaluations, indicating a focus on reliability and operational continuity. Her procurement approach prioritizes small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 8.3% allocated to HUBZone firms. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand vendor diversity and strengthen regional economic resilience through targeted contracting. Chatman’s primary NAICS focus includes 811111 (automotive repair for military vehicle fleets), 423430 (computer and peripheral equipment wholesale), 337215 (custom shelving and locker manufacturing), and 541519 (other computer-related services), reflecting a blend of logistics, facility, and IT modernization needs. Her expertise lies in procuring secure, durable, and scalable solutions that support both physical infrastructure and digital operational environments across Air Force bases.
