Renada L. Cooper serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force at FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for facility systems, including fire safety upgrades, HVAC integration, and secure communication equipment, ensuring compliance with FAR and AF-specific procurement policies. Her work directly supports operational readiness by securing reliable, resilient infrastructure solutions across Air Force installations, with a focus on technical specifications that meet DoD standards for safety and cybersecurity. Cooper maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of specialized engineering firms, construction contractors, and systems integrators with proven expertise in defense facility modernization. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing compliance, schedule adherence, and technical alignment with mission requirements. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong preference for small business participation, with 35.7% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.1% reserved for HUBZone firms.
