Nicole A. Adams

Nicole A. Adams serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining air base operational readiness through infrastructure and facility modernization. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and support service acquisitions, focusing on mission-critical systems including HVAC, wastewater treatment, communications infrastructure, and site development. Her work directly enables the resilience and functionality of expeditionary and garrisoned air bases, ensuring compliance with DoD standards for safety, security, and sustainability. Adams handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and lifecycle cost analysis, often coordinating with engineering and environmental compliance teams to align procurement with strategic readiness goals. She maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a trusted contractor delivering integrated facility and systems support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality delivery and regulatory adherence. While she engages with large-capacity contractors for complex systems, she actively cultivates relationships with small businesses capable of executing specialized construction and retrofit tasks under tight operational timelines. Adams demonstrates strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of her portfolio allocated to small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business and Women-Owned Small Business categories. She prioritizes fair and transparent competition under FAR 19.5, avoiding unnecessary set-asides while ensuring robust participation from certified small and women-owned firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy that upholds federal mandates while maintaining mission agility. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation), 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building), and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). She specializes in procuring turnkey infrastructure upgrades, utility system replacements, and facility modernizations that support airfield and base-wide operational continuity, requiring deep familiarity with military construction standards and environmental compliance protocols.
