Rebekah M Gaylord

Rebekah M. Gaylord serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc, a critical support unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining airfield and facility infrastructure to ensure operational readiness. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from solicitation through contract award and administration, with a focus on construction, maintenance, and logistical support services essential to mission-critical aviation operations. Her work ensures timely delivery of capital improvements and specialized contracting solutions that maintain the integrity of Air Force installations and enable uninterrupted mission execution. Gaylord maintains established relationships with key contractors including AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering complex infrastructure and geospatial support services. Her contracting patterns indicate consistent collaboration with vendors possessing proven technical capabilities in facility modernization, site development, and specialized engineering services, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with federal construction standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic participation, with approximately one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and over 11% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on workforce development and vendor diversity. Gaylord’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to commercial and institutional construction, building equipment contracting, and specialized manufacturing, particularly in aeronautical systems and communications equipment. She routinely administers contracts for facility upgrades, airfield maintenance infrastructure, and mission-support technologies, requiring deep familiarity with DoD construction specifications, safety protocols, and technical standards governing aviation infrastructure sustainment.
