Nancy Purvis

Nancy Purvis serves as a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) procurement specialist within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her role focuses on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of climate control systems, building environmental controls, and related specialty trade services that support base-wide facility integrity and personnel welfare. She handles complex contract actions under FAR Part 36, integrating technical specifications with energy efficiency standards and maintenance lifecycle requirements to meet Air Force sustainability and resilience goals. Purvis maintains strong working relationships with key contractors including IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, both of which provide specialized HVAC installation, retrofitting, and integrated building systems services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, compliance with military construction standards, and proven performance on prior installations. She routinely engages contractors capable of delivering turnkey solutions that align with Air Force Facility Engineering Guidelines and Unified Facilities Criteria. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with over 55% of her actions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and approximately one-third awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among disadvantaged businesses while maintaining high performance standards. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand the vendor base and enhance competition within niche technical markets. Purvis’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with significant activity in electrical contracting (238210) and other specialty trade services (238990). She frequently acquires integrated HVAC systems, rooftop units, ductwork, thermostatic controls, and related energy management technologies, demonstrating deep expertise in building systems modernization and compliance with DoD energy conservation mandates.
