Marilyn T. Menjivar

Marilyn T. Menjivar serves as a key procurement professional within the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain airpower readiness through strategic acquisition of mission-critical aerospace systems and infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts for aircraft components, avionics, maintenance services, and facility support systems, ensuring operational continuity for base operations and training missions. Her work directly enables the readiness of combat-coded and support aircraft by securing specialized equipment and technical services aligned with Air Force logistics and sustainment priorities. Menjivar maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships span industrial equipment supply, construction management, performance-based maintenance, and niche technology solutions, reflecting a balanced approach between established vendors and specialized service providers. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and timely delivery to meet dynamic operational demands. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition and economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, while maintaining flexibility through non-set-aside awards for complex or time-sensitive requirements. Despite the agency’s aerospace focus, her NAICS utilization reveals an unusual breadth, with significant activity in 324110 (petroleum refineries), 721110 (hotels and motels), and 811310 (commercial machinery repair), suggesting support for base infrastructure, lodging, and maintenance of non-aerospace equipment. This eclectic mix underscores her role in enabling holistic base operations, not just flight-line readiness, requiring adaptability across diverse technical domains and supply chains.
