Lt Devan Ortiz

Lt. Devan Ortiz serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4626 341st Contracting Squadron, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. In this role, Ortiz manages acquisitions for civil engineering and facility maintenance services essential to mission readiness, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural repairs, and utility system modernization. Their work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain resilient, safe, and operational facilities through timely and compliant contracting actions, ensuring alignment with Department of Defense infrastructure resilience standards. Ortiz routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under FAR Part 16, prioritizing performance-based service delivery models. Ortiz maintains a consistent working relationship with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a primary contractor for mechanical systems maintenance and repair. Their procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, technical expertise, and compliance with federal facility standards. While a core contractor is frequently engaged, Ortiz also cultivates a diverse supplier base to ensure redundancy and capacity during peak maintenance cycles, favoring vendors with proven experience in military-grade infrastructure environments. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Ortiz’s contracting patterns, with over half of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Women-owned and HUBZone small businesses also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to broaden vendor diversity. The preference for small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to leverage the agility and specialized capabilities of niche contractors while meeting federal small business utilization goals. Ortiz’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 238330 (flooring contractors), and 561720 (janitorial services), indicating deep expertise in facility sustainment and custodial operations. These categories reflect a focus on mission-critical, low-profile maintenance functions that ensure continuous operational readiness. Their technical domain expertise spans building systems integration, environmental compliance, and lifecycle asset management within high-utilization military installations.
