Mayra Hernandez

Mayra Hernandez serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4620 92 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of specialized aircraft parts, auxiliary equipment, and related systems essential to aviation maintenance and defensive infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Air Force-specific operational standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain the reliability of critical facilities and systems underpinning Air Force readiness. Mayra maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including Didsbury Inc., ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC., NW TEL, LLC, RHODES STEPHENNE, and ATS INLAND NW LLC. These vendors are primarily engaged for niche technical services and specialized manufacturing in support of aviation maintenance and facility security systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging proven performance and technical expertise to ensure mission continuity and quality assurance across high-stakes procurements. She exhibits a firm commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses capable of delivering specialized aerospace and industrial maintenance solutions. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business capabilities, fostering a competitive environment that strengthens the defense industrial base. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures custom-engineered components, avionics support systems, and mission-specific hardware critical to aircraft sustainment. Her expertise lies in evaluating technical specifications for non-standard, low-volume manufacturing requirements, ensuring compliance with military standards and airworthiness certifications.
