Lindsay Bonnema

Lindsay Bonnema serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Responsible for managing construction and mission-enabling service acquisitions, she ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the agency’s priorities in facility resilience, utility reliability, and operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facility construction, environmental systems, and base support services, requiring precise application of FAR and DFARS provisions to meet mission-critical timelines and standards. Bonnema maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in construction, base operations, and specialized maintenance services. Key partners include MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for commercial and institutional building projects, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for facility hygiene compliance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in military environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality, safety, and regulatory adherence. Her procurement strategy demonstrates strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with over 62% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance community economic resilience while maintaining mission effectiveness. She actively leverages FAR 19.5 provisions to ensure equitable access for qualified small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories. Bonnema’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for half of her portfolio, alongside niche support services in facility operations and training. Her technical expertise spans military construction standards, utility system upgrades, and base infrastructure modernization, with secondary engagements in professional development and specialized maintenance services critical to sustaining Air Force operational capabilities.
