Skylar Hodson

Skylar Hodson serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining air base operational readiness through infrastructure and facility modernization. They manage a diverse portfolio of construction, communications, and mission-support acquisitions, focusing on HVAC systems, secure audio-video equipment, industrial machinery, and facility services essential to base resilience. Their work directly enables the Air Force’s strategic imperative to modernize aging infrastructure while ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. Hodson maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized engineering and facility support services. Their contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade infrastructure, while also fostering collaborative partnerships with firms capable of rapid deployment and technical adaptability in austere environments. Vendor engagement is characterized by performance-based contracting, strict adherence to technical specifications, and close coordination with facility engineers and logistics teams. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Hodson’s contracting approach, with 60% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient supplier base, prioritizing small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories while maintaining rigorous performance expectations. The remaining 40% of procurements are open to all competitors, ensuring market competitiveness without compromising mission requirements. Hodson’s procurement focus centers on five core NAICS categories: plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors; audio and video equipment manufacturing; industrial machinery; totalizing fluid meter and counting device manufacturing; and office administrative services. These reflect a technical domain expertise in facility systems integration, environmental control infrastructure, and mission-support logistics, ensuring that air base operations remain secure, efficient, and fully compliant with DoD sustainability and readiness standards.
