Samantha Dunseith

Samantha Dunseith serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4803 20 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing construction and facility infrastructure contracts that sustain operational readiness at Air Force installations. She oversees the acquisition of critical building systems including HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and institutional construction services, ensuring compliance with military standards and resilience objectives. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain base infrastructure through strategic contracting that prioritizes reliability, long-term maintenance, and mission-critical functionality. Dunseith maintains a consistent working relationship with Carolina Ground Service Equipment Inc., a primary contractor delivering specialized ground support and facility-related equipment services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure, often engaging firms capable of integrating complex mechanical and building systems under tight operational timelines. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships that emphasize performance-based outcomes, preventive maintenance capabilities, and adherence to federal construction codes. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 71.4% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally based contractors, aligning with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. She routinely structures solicitations to maximize participation from small businesses capable of delivering niche construction and facility support services. Dunseith’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 221320 (sewage treatment facilities) and 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance), with additional emphasis on 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing) and 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing). Her expertise spans facility utilities, mechanical systems, and custom-built institutional fixtures, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in infrastructure lifecycle management and mission-aligned procurement for defense installations.
