SrA Kaiya Ginyard

SrA Kaiya Ginyard serves as a key procurement specialist within the 11th Contracting Squadron, FA7060, under the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain Air Force bands, ceremonial operations, and base infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on enhancing morale, public engagement, and daily operational functionality through the acquisition of specialized equipment, facilities support services, and mission-critical logistics. Her work directly aligns with the squadron’s mandate to ensure quality-of-life standards and readiness for Air Force personnel by securing tailored solutions that meet unique ceremonial and cultural requirements. Ginyard maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, including Boh Environmental, L.L.C., ADVANTOR SYSTEMS CORPORATION, and LORTON STONE, LLC, each of which provides niche capabilities in environmental services, systems integration, and specialized construction materials. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliable, repeat partnerships with vendors who demonstrate deep domain expertise in supporting military ceremonial needs and infrastructure maintenance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and performance excellence. She exhibits a strong, unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses, ensuring that contracting activity directly supports socioeconomic goals while maintaining high standards of service delivery. Her pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a mission-aligned dedication to workforce development and community engagement. Her procurement focus is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors) and 481112 (Scheduled Freight Air Transportation). She specializes in acquiring custom ceremonial uniforms, musical instrument cases, and other apparel for Air Force bands, alongside expedited air freight services for time-sensitive equipment and materials. This dual specialization reflects her technical expertise in both textile manufacturing standards and time-critical logistics for mission-critical operations.
