Queen E McCartney

Queen E. McCartney serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA4659 319 Cons Pk agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and infrastructure support contracts critical to Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on sustaining and modernizing mission-critical facilities, including airfield systems, utility networks, barracks, and administrative infrastructure. She executes acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation with a focus on integrated construction, facility maintenance, and security services, ensuring compliance with DoD standards and resilience requirements. McCartney plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and future-ready installations. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC and MACK GLOBAL LLC, both of which provide specialized expertise in infrastructure modernization and technical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, often engaging firms with proven experience in complex military facility environments. McCartney prioritizes clear performance metrics and contract administration rigor to ensure deliverables meet stringent Air Force operational standards. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, McCartney consistently deploys HUBZone set-asides across 60% of her acquisitions, reflecting a deliberate commitment to empowering businesses located in historically underutilized zones. The remaining 40% of her awards are issued as no-set-aside procurements, typically for specialized technical services where qualified small businesses are limited. Her pattern demonstrates a balanced but intentional focus on expanding opportunities for HUBZone-certified firms while maintaining mission-critical delivery timelines. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237130 (Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction), which accounts for 60% of her activity, reflecting deep expertise in utility and energy infrastructure projects. She also regularly procures security systems services under NAICS 561621 and fluid power components under NAICS 333995, demonstrating technical fluency in both civil works and electromechanical systems. McCartney’s domain expertise spans integrated facility systems, ensuring that acquisitions support the Air Force’s broader goals of resilience, sustainability, and mission continuity.
