Patrina James

Patrina Lynell James 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 procurements that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized maintenance, medical support, and facility services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while aligning acquisitions with strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization and operational resilience. She routinely handles complex service-based contracts requiring technical evaluation, performance-based acquisition methods, and stringent oversight to support airfield, communications, and medical systems integrity. James 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 approach to vendor engagement, combining established service providers with niche specialists in facility operations and technical support. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, performance accountability, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure seamless delivery of mission-critical services across multiple Air Force sites. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 5.9% designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster economic opportunity within the defense contracting ecosystem. James specializes in procurements aligned with NAICS codes 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), indicating a technical focus on avionics support, communication systems integration, and workforce development services. Her expertise lies in acquiring advanced technical equipment and specialized training solutions that enhance operational capability and personnel readiness across Air Force installations.
