Mindy L. Winans serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts focused on facility maintenance, medical support systems, and professional training services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational requirements. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities of modernizing infrastructure and maintaining safe, technologically advanced environments for personnel and equipment. Winans maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced service providers capable of delivering specialized maintenance, training, and technical support under time-sensitive operational timelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor accountability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Winans routinely structures acquisitions with a 50% total small business set-aside, complemented by a 25% preference for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for underrepresented vendors. The remaining 25% of awards are issued as open competitions, balancing competition with inclusion goals under FAR Part 19. Her procurement focus centers on four primary NAICS categories: 611430 for professional and management development training, 562991 for septic tank and related environmental services, 423490 for specialized equipment wholesale distribution, and 511210 for software publishing and digital content services. This blend of technical, environmental, and administrative procurement domains demonstrates her expertise in supporting both operational and infrastructure needs across Air Force installations.
