Shemika S. Young serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA2543 460 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contract actions for facility construction, maintenance, and operational support systems, with a primary focus on commercial and institutional building construction, HVAC, electrical systems, and related infrastructure services. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain mission-ready facilities that support airpower readiness and base resilience. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, Young’s procurement portfolio reflects engagement with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering complex construction and facility services, including general contractors, specialty trades, and systems integrators experienced in DoD facility standards. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, quality assurance protocols, and contractor accountability under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement mechanisms. Young demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and open competitions. This pattern underscores her dedication to fostering small business participation while maintaining competitive integrity. She consistently leverages the small business program to enhance innovation and local economic impact without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and NAICS 532210 (Consumer Electronics and Appliances Rental), indicating a dual emphasis on facility leasing arrangements and temporary equipment support for operational continuity. This reflects expertise in both real property management and transient resource provisioning, positioning her at the intersection of infrastructure sustainment and adaptive logistics support within the Air Force’s installation readiness framework.
