Rachel O. Quinn

Rachel O. Quinn serves as the Officer-in-Charge of Base Infrastructure for FA4830 23 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to operational readiness. Her role centers on procuring facilities, utilities, and site-related systems that sustain air base functionality, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for durability, safety, and mission continuity. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and service contracts, including commercial building projects, site preparation, and logistical support services critical to base operations. Quinn’s work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain airborne readiness through resilient infrastructure and responsive support networks. Quinn maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of contractors, including Ardmore Consulting Group, Inc., Machine Tool Marketing Inc., GovAge, Inc., Dark Waters Entprising, LLC, and TestForce USA, Inc. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, facility management, and technical services providers, many of whom deliver niche capabilities in infrastructure modernization and operational support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships with firms capable of delivering complex, multi-phase projects under stringent DoD compliance requirements. Quinn demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 50% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 16.7% allocated to HUBZone firms. Her pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation, particularly among firms with proven expertise in construction and facility services. While no-set-aside contracts account for one-third of her portfolio, the majority of her acquisitions prioritize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and geographically targeted vendors to contribute to national defense infrastructure. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 722310 (Food Service Contractors), reflecting a dual emphasis on physical infrastructure and base support services. She also regularly procures site preparation, highway construction, and petroleum distribution services, demonstrating technical fluency across civil works and logistical supply chains. Quinn’s expertise spans the full lifecycle of base infrastructure acquisition—from planning and design through construction and sustainment—ensuring that facilities meet operational, environmental, and safety standards for sustained airpower readiness.
