Melena D. Faxon

Melena D. Faxon serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, a U.S. Army installation support unit operating under the Department of the Army in the Pacific region. Responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions, she oversees contracts critical to sustaining Army infrastructure, environmental compliance, and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on facility maintenance, utility systems, and essential support services that ensure the continuity of military operations across strategic installations. Faxon routinely handles complex, multi-year task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, with a focus on services requiring technical specificity and regulatory adherence. She maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering construction, waste management, pest control, and facility operations services tailored to the unique environmental and logistical demands of Pacific theater installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes. Faxon demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic resilience within the local and regional small business community while ensuring competitive, responsive service delivery. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs, aligning with Army goals to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally rooted vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335210 (small electrical appliance manufacturing), 325180 (basic inorganic chemical manufacturing), 335312 (motor and generator manufacturing), and 561710 (pest control services). These categories indicate deep expertise in procuring specialized equipment for energy systems, chemical handling for environmental remediation, electromechanical components for infrastructure, and integrated pest management solutions critical to installation health and safety standards.
