Mary K. Thomsen serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure and technical systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and administering contracts for facilities modernization, secure communications, and cyber-enabled infrastructure, ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD acquisition policies. She routinely handles complex procurements for specialized equipment and services supporting HVAC, electrical systems, and secure computing environments across high-priority installations. Thomsen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade technical integration, facility maintenance, and mission-critical system support. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous vendor accountability to ensure reliability in austere operational environments. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 36.4% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 4.5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Thomsen actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster capability development among qualified small and disadvantaged firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), reflecting deep specialization in secure communications hardware, control systems, and electronic instrumentation. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 511210 and 541519, underscoring expertise in data infrastructure, networked systems, and specialized IT support critical to Air Force cyber-resilient operations.
