A1C Bayley McKinney

SrA Bayley McKinney serves as a procurement specialist within the FA4418 628th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, supporting infrastructure resilience and operational readiness at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Responsible for managing mission-enabling acquisitions, McKinney oversees contracts for facility sustainment, utility system modernization, and base infrastructure enhancements. Their portfolio includes construction, maintenance, and logistical support services critical to airfield and facility operations, ensuring compliance with Air Force engineering standards and environmental regulations. McKinney plays a key role in translating mission requirements into solicitation strategies that align with DoD acquisition policies and lifecycle management objectives. McKinney maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility support and mission-critical services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and civil works, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for hazardous exhaust system maintenance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related equipment. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche vendors capable of delivering specialized, on-site services under tight operational timelines, often requiring rapid mobilization and compliance with military installation security protocols. McKinney demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 60% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing economically disadvantaged and locally based vendors. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster regional economic development while ensuring responsive, agile contractor support. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone) dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a broader agency emphasis on inclusive contracting and workforce development. The procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to industrial equipment maintenance (811310), communications and instrumentation manufacturing (334290, 334513), and audio/video systems (334310), indicating expertise in procuring technical systems for facility automation, environmental monitoring, and mission communications infrastructure. McKinney’s domain knowledge spans the integration of industrial control systems, utility monitoring devices, and specialized maintenance services essential to sustaining Air Force operational facilities.
