Nicole M Taylor

Nicole M. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the full lifecycle of mission-critical acquisitions supporting personnel readiness, communications infrastructure, and base sustainment operations. Her portfolio encompasses a diverse range of services and technical systems essential to maintaining operational tempo across garrisoned and deployed environments, including IT modernization, flight training support, and facility maintenance contracts. She applies rigorous FAR compliance and strategic sourcing principles to ensure timely, cost-effective delivery of capabilities that directly enable Air Force mission success. Taylor maintains established working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including SUPPLYCORE LLC, CYBERPROTEX, LLC, and Liberty Communications, Inc., reflecting a pattern of sustained partnerships with vendors capable of delivering secure communications, cybersecurity services, and logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor reliability, often re-engaging contractors with proven track records in delivering complex, time-sensitive solutions under dynamic operational conditions. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 45% of awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including a notable 9.8% allocation to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, Taylor consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster vendor diversity and enhance resilience within the defense supply base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include flight training (611512), pest control services (561710), and aeronautical system manufacturing (334511), indicating expertise in procuring specialized educational services, environmental compliance solutions, and mission-critical avionics and navigation equipment. This blend of technical domains underscores her ability to navigate both operational and infrastructure requirements across Air Force installations, ensuring acquisition outcomes align with readiness and sustainment imperatives.
