Rachel Gordon

Rachel Gordon supports mission-critical procurement activities within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8101 organization, ensuring the sustainment and modernization of facility infrastructure and operational systems essential to Air Force readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility maintenance, specialized technical services, and mission-enabling equipment, aligning acquisitions with the Department of Defense’s priorities for secure, resilient installations. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from requirements validation to contract award and administration—with emphasis on services that maintain analytical, audiovisual, and cybersecurity-adjacent systems at Air Force bases nationwide. Gordon maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MACK GLOBAL LLC and ORE POWER LLC, both of which provide specialized facility sustainment and technical support services. Her procurement approach favors established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure maintenance and responsive service delivery, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure operational continuity and compliance with Air Force standards. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures that prioritize reliability and mission alignment. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively leverages small business capabilities where technical scope and scale permit, ensuring competitive engagement without compromising mission requirements. Gordon’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621910 (Ambulance Services), reflecting support for medical response infrastructure at installations, alongside significant activity in 561621 (Security Systems Services), 541380 (Testing Laboratories), and 541990 (Professional Technical Services). These reflect her technical expertise in sustaining integrated safety, diagnostic, and operational support systems critical to Air Force mission execution.
