Sarah Sasseen

Sarah Sasseen serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility infrastructure and support services contracts critical to operational readiness. She oversees acquisitions for building systems maintenance, mechanical upgrades, and installation-level construction services, ensuring Air Force bases maintain compliant, resilient, and mission-ready facilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to sustain HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure while advancing facility modernization efforts through timely and compliant contracting practices. Sasseen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, and DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC., all of whom specialize in commercial building systems and installation support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, locally responsive vendors capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive repairs and upgrades across multiple Air Force installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and adherence to federal facility standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Sasseen consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with over 72% of her acquisitions designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand economic opportunity among qualified contractors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her pattern of awarding contracts to small firms underscores a commitment to equitable access and workforce development within the defense infrastructure sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), with additional activity in specialized areas such as food service equipment and technical consulting. She routinely manages contracts for mechanical system overhauls, electrical upgrades, and facility renovation projects, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical requirements of military installation infrastructure.
