Rhiannon DeForest

Rhiannon DeForest serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the FA4626 341 Cons Lgc, a civil engineering and infrastructure sustainment unit under the Department of the Air Force. In this role, she supports the acquisition of critical facility maintenance and operational support services essential to maintaining mission-ready Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include facilitating contract actions for mechanical, electrical, and structural infrastructure repairs, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in resilience, safety, and long-term asset modernization. She typically handles service-based acquisitions related to facility systems, utility maintenance, and specialized industrial repair. Her primary contractor relationship is with MID MOUNTAIN BOILER AND STEAM, INC., a vendor specializing in commercial boiler systems and industrial steam equipment maintenance. DeForest’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established niche contractors with proven technical expertise in facility infrastructure, often engaging firms capable of delivering complex, code-compliant repairs to aging utility systems. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, regulatory adherence, and technical specificity over broad-scale construction vendors. DeForest demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 78.6% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, reflecting the agency’s broader mandate to foster local economic resilience and contractor diversity. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair) and 333120 (construction machinery manufacturing), indicating expertise in HVAC, boiler, and heavy equipment maintenance services. She also procures specialized automotive repair (811114) and facility-related support services, demonstrating a technical domain proficiency in sustaining mission-critical infrastructure systems across Air Force installations.
