Shanickiau Fowler

Shanickia Fowler serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airfield and facility infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Air Force-specific regulatory frameworks. She primarily handles construction, maintenance, and logistical support contracts essential to operational readiness, with a focus on capital improvements that enable uninterrupted aviation operations and base-wide functionality. Fowler maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, partnering with firms that deliver specialized engineering, geospatial analytics, and infrastructure support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical compliance, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in reliability, innovation, and mission alignment. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in military-grade facility sustainment and geospatial-enabled logistics. While the majority of her acquisitions (80%) are conducted without set-asides, she actively supports small business participation, with 20% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission requirements, aligning with Department of the Air Force socioeconomic goals while maintaining competitive rigor. Fowler’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting her specialization in technical instrumentation and communications systems. She also regularly procures equipment under NAICS 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing) for base recreation and training, and NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers) for facility hygiene services. Her expertise spans both high-technology hardware and mission-enabling support services critical to installation resilience.
