Shamika Bailey

Shamika N. Bailey serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to modernize infrastructure and enhance operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility upgrades, electronic communication systems, and security infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force strategic priorities. Her work directly supports the sustainment of defense-critical facilities through timely, compliant, and efficient procurement processes that prioritize resilience, interoperability, and lifecycle cost effectiveness. Bailey maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing—engaging both large-capacity vendors for complex technical integrations and specialized small firms for niche services. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor evaluation to ensure quality delivery across construction, IT, and security domains. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 40% of awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 9.8% allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of SDVOSB and total small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented vendors while maintaining competitive rigor. Bailey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 423430 (computer and peripheral equipment wholesale), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 561621 (security systems services), reflecting her expertise in acquiring integrated IT, software development, and physical security solutions. She also regularly procures support services for air transportation infrastructure and specialized facility systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense-related communications, fire safety modernization, and mission-enabling technology deployments.
