Maya L. Hemingway

Maya L. Hemingway serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airpower infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized construction, facility modernization, and technical equipment procurement, ensuring alignment with Air Force standards for secure communications, surveillance systems, and command-and-control infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain resilient, mission-ready facilities and systems across expeditionary and garrison environments. Maya collaborates with a diverse array of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, specialty trade services, and precision manufacturing. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in building maintenance, paving, painting, and specialized equipment fabrication. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and vendor accountability through clear statement of work definitions and quality assurance protocols. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains vigilant in ensuring all vendors meet federal compliance and small business participation requirements where applicable. Her approach prioritizes value, reliability, and timely delivery over socioeconomic categorization. Maya’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to commercial building construction, specialty trade contracting, painting and wall covering, asphalt paving, and totalizing fluid meter manufacturing. These reflect a unique blend of civil infrastructure and niche technical equipment needs essential to Air Force installations. Her expertise lies in bridging construction logistics with technical systems integration, ensuring that facility upgrades support advanced communications and surveillance capabilities critical to national defense.
