Nikkeyla Barbee

Nikkeyla Barbee 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. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management for specialized medical, facility, and infrastructure support services, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. She routinely handles complex procurements involving high-precision equipment and technical services essential to operational environments, with a focus on maintaining airfield functionality, modernizing communications systems, and supporting medical facility sustainability. Barbee 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 balanced mix of large and small business vendors, with a pattern of repeat engagements indicating trust in vendor performance, technical reliability, and responsiveness to mission needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contract compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and quality assurance. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 36.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 9.1% awarded through 8(a) competed programs.

Barbee’s technical focus centers on NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and related categories such as in-vitro diagnostic substances and electromedical apparatus manufacturing. She specializes in procuring advanced medical diagnostics, precision instrumentation, and specialized clinical support equipment critical to Air Force medical readiness, demonstrating deep familiarity with FDA-regulated and DoD-specific technical standards.
