Regina West

Regina West serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4407 375th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing facility-related acquisitions that sustain mission-critical Air Force infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on site preparation and commercial/institutional building construction contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness at Air Force installations. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to uphold airfield, lodging, and security infrastructure through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting. Regina maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, all of which have demonstrated reliability in delivering facility services under complex operational constraints. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in military installation environments and a track record of performance on previous contracts. Her approach emphasizes contractor accountability, performance-based metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure mission continuity and quality assurance. A defining feature of Regina’s contracting strategy is her strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for two-thirds of her awards. This reflects a deliberate focus on directing opportunities to qualified small businesses located in historically underutilized business zones, aligning with DoD and federal small business goals. The remaining third of her acquisitions are conducted as no-set-aside actions, typically when market conditions or urgency necessitate broader competition. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she procures services such as earthmoving, grading, utility installation, and structural construction for military facilities. Her domain knowledge includes environmental compliance, hazardous material mitigation, and infrastructure resilience standards, positioning her as a key enabler of Air Force installation sustainability and mission readiness.
