Sara E. Lackey

Sara E. Lackey serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4887 56 Cons Cc, a Department of the Air Force organization responsible for sustaining critical Air Force infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on industrial maintenance, aviation component support, facility operations, and specialized equipment procurement. Her work directly supports the reliability of airfields, hangars, and mission-critical systems through timely contracting for maintenance services, facility upgrades, and technical equipment supply. She operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance while advancing mission-critical capabilities across the Air Force’s physical infrastructure. Lackey maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ARKOSE GROUP LLC, SILVER NATIONAL CORP., BLAZING AVIATION LLC, and MACH 2 PRODUCTIONS INC., each of which provides specialized services in industrial repair, aviation logistics, and technical fabrication. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in commercial and industrial machinery maintenance, aviation component support, and facility systems integration. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement and performance-based contract structures that emphasize reliability and technical precision. Her procurement strategy strongly prioritizes small business participation, with 71.4% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 14.3% allocated through 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned firms while maintaining high standards of technical performance. She consistently leverages socioeconomic programs to broaden the vendor base and enhance competition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 423850 for equipment wholesaling, 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, and 237130 for power and communication line construction, with additional activity in solid waste collection and surgical appliance manufacturing. This diverse technical profile underscores her expertise in procuring mission-enabling goods and services that support both facility operations and aviation sustainment across a complex defense infrastructure.
