Stephanie M. Faulkner

Stephanie Faulkner serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4484 87 Cons Pk organization, supporting mission-critical infrastructure sustainment and operational readiness at military installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, construction services, and technical systems integration essential to air base functionality. Her work ensures compliance with environmental, safety, and readiness standards, with a strong emphasis on modernizing aging infrastructure and maintaining high-tempo operational environments for aircraft and personnel. She routinely handles complex contracting actions under FAR Part 36 for construction and FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisitions, balancing urgency with regulatory rigor. Faulkner maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering integrated facility services, electrical upgrades, and specialized technical support under time-sensitive conditions. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with proven performance histories, fostering reliable delivery of mission-essential work while minimizing reprocurement risk. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense supply base. A smaller but consistent portion of awards are designated as HUBZone set-asides, aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside mechanisms, underscoring a strategic emphasis on fostering small business capacity and diversity in defense contracting. Faulkner’s NAICS focus centers on specialized manufacturing and technical services, including office furniture systems (337214), miscellaneous electrical components (335999), audio/video equipment (334310), and niche industrial services such as septic tank operations (562991). These reflect procurement needs for mission-support infrastructure—ranging from secure communications hardware to facility utilities—rather than direct combat systems. Her expertise lies in bridging civilian-grade technical procurement with military operational requirements in sustainment environments.
