Melinda Hazzard

Melinda Hazzard serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8903 organization of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical Air Force infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the acquisition of real estate-related services essential to installation resilience, environmental compliance, and mission-critical facility operations. She manages contracts aligned with the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain operational readiness through integrated environmental remediation, engineering support, and land use management. Her procurement activities focus on securing long-term, performance-based solutions that ensure regulatory adherence and infrastructure durability across Air Force installations. Hazzard collaborates with a broad spectrum of real estate and facility services vendors, including firms specializing in property leasing, land management, and environmental site remediation. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with firms possessing expertise in federal real property compliance, hazardous material handling, and facility asset optimization. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in DoD environmental standards and installation-level service delivery. Hazzard’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This suggests an operational priority on securing specialized technical capabilities over socioeconomic targeting, though small business participation may still occur organically through subcontracting or competitive bidding. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531190 (Lessors of Other Real Estate Property) and 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), reflecting expertise in acquiring land leases, property management services, and real estate transaction support tied to military installations. She routinely procures services involving environmental site assessments, land use planning, and infrastructure leasing arrangements—domains requiring deep familiarity with federal real property law, DoD environmental regulations, and installation-level logistics.
