Shandra R. Drummond

Shandra R. Drummond serves as a Contract Administrator within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5270 18 Cons Pk, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airfield operations and infrastructure readiness across the Indo-Pacific region. She oversees the procurement of facilities support services, aeronautical systems, and telecommunications infrastructure essential to force projection and rapid response capabilities. Her role ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract execution with strategic priorities including airfield damage repair, grounds maintenance, and mission-enabling security systems. Drummond’s acquisitions are characterized by technical precision and operational urgency, often supporting time-sensitive, high-impact projects critical to sustained military readiness. Drummond maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including GILBANE JAPAN GK and KYUNAN CO., LTD., both of which provide specialized facilities and infrastructure support services tailored to U.S. military installations in the Pacific theater. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, regionally experienced contractors with proven expertise in austere environment operations and compliance with U.S. defense standards. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and operational continuity, often awarding task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure responsive, scalable support. Drummond’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no allocations reserved for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a focus on mission-critical performance and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing rapid deployment and operational effectiveness in high-stakes environments. While small business participation is not formally structured into her acquisition strategy, her contracting decisions remain fully compliant with federal procurement statutes and emphasize value-driven outcomes. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 (aeronautical system manufacturing), 561210 (facilities support services), and 517410 (satellite telecommunications), reflecting deep expertise in procuring navigation systems, airfield maintenance services, and secure communications infrastructure. She routinely manages technical acquisitions requiring specialized engineering knowledge and compliance with DoD technical specifications, ensuring seamless integration of hardware and services into operational airfield ecosystems.
