Stephanie A. Hodges

Stephanie Hodges serves as a Contract Specialist with the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airpower readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for advanced communications systems, surveillance equipment, and facility infrastructure supporting command-and-control operations. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals, particularly in secure broadcasting and electronic warfare support systems. Hodges routinely handles complex, technically demanding solicitations requiring specialized engineering and cybersecurity expertise, often involving classified or controlled environments. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Hodges maintains a dynamic contracting environment characterized by consistent engagement with both large defense primes and small business vendors. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-integrity technical solutions under tight operational timelines. She is known for her collaborative engagement with industry, conducting pre-solicitation outreach and vendor days to clarify requirements and promote transparency in the acquisition process. Hodges demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her portfolio designated for Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, ensuring equitable access to Air Force contracting opportunities. Her consistent use of set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand the defense industrial base and cultivate a resilient supplier network. Her primary procurement focus spans NAICS codes including 339920 for specialized sporting and athletic goods manufacturing—often linked to training and readiness equipment—alongside 541620 for environmental consulting services supporting base compliance, and 493110 for warehousing and logistics infrastructure. Though some categories appear atypical for a military installation, they reflect niche requirements for recreational facilities, maintenance support, and personnel readiness programs. Hodges brings technical fluency in integrating these diverse requirements into cohesive, mission-aligned acquisition strategies.
