Rhonda

Rhonda serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain airfield operations, base infrastructure, and essential support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, focusing on professional services, facility maintenance, and IT-enabled support systems that ensure operational readiness across Air Force installations. Her work directly supports the agency’s modernization goals for communications, computing, and cybersecurity resilience by translating mission requirements into compliant, efficient contracting solutions. Rhonda maintains established working relationships with key contractors including IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, partnering with firms that deliver specialized facility upgrades, technical support, and IT infrastructure services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging task-order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive, scalable support. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal facility operations and rapid deployment capabilities. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Rhonda consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on expanding access for small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, and other certified small entities, aligning with Department of the Air Force mandates to enhance diversity in the supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), reflecting a unique need for faith-based support services on military installations, alongside 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors) for facility enhancements and 711130 (Musical Groups and Artists) for morale, welfare, and recreation programming. This blend of technical and human-centered services underscores her expertise in balancing operational necessity with quality-of-life requirements across Air Force communities.
