Long serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4654 434 Conf Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure at Air Force installations.

She handles a diverse portfolio of fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and mission-critical timelines. Her role bridges technical requirements with acquisition strategy to deliver resilient infrastructure capable of supporting Air Force missions. Long maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors AKS INDUSTRIES INC and SHAMBAUGH & SON, L.P., both of which have demonstrated proven expertise in heavy civil construction and institutional building services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated capability in complex, multi-phase infrastructure projects, often requiring specialized engineering oversight and compliance with military construction codes. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and adherence to stringent quality and safety standards. Her contracting strategy strongly prioritizes small business participation, with 85.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 14.3% specifically reserved for women-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while fostering a diverse, resilient vendor base capable of meeting mission-critical demands. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310) and Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), each accounting for 28.6% of her portfolio.
