Shawn R. Yealick

Shawn Yealick serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2860 316 Cons Pk facility, supporting the sustainment of critical infrastructure and operational readiness at Joint Base Andrews. Responsible for managing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain command, control, and communications capabilities, Yealick oversees contracts for security systems, radio and broadcasting hardware, and facility maintenance services. Their work ensures the continuous functionality of air operations infrastructure through timely and compliant procurement of mission-critical equipment and integrated services, with a focus on reliability, interoperability, and long-term operational support. Yealick maintains consistent working relationships with contractors such as ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., reflecting a preference for specialized vendors capable of delivering niche industrial and environmental support services. These partnerships are typically structured around performance-based contracts requiring technical compliance, safety certifications, and adherence to federal environmental and facility standards. The working relationship pattern emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory adherence, and the ability to deliver tailored solutions for unique base infrastructure needs. In terms of socioeconomic contracting, Yealick demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately 45.5% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business, Women-Owned Small Business, and 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of targeted set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to foster vendor diversity and strengthen the small business ecosystem supporting national defense infrastructure. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532490 for commercial machinery leasing and NAICS 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, indicating deep expertise in acquiring broadcast-grade hardware, surveillance systems, and audiovisual infrastructure. Additional activity in irradiation apparatus and industrial textile product procurement suggests a broad technical scope, requiring familiarity with specialized manufacturing standards and federal supply chain protocols.
