Stormy C. Gallagher

Stormy C. Gallagher serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility sustainment, utilities modernization, and technical support services essential to national security space missions. Her portfolio includes construction, maintenance, and specialized technical contracts that ensure mission-critical environments remain operational and compliant with federal standards. Gallagher works closely with program managers and engineers to translate technical requirements into solicitation packages that align with DoD acquisition regulations and infrastructure modernization priorities. She maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT, TECH O. R., LLC, KING FREIGHT LLC, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC, reflecting a balanced mix of construction, logistics, pest control, and tactical supply expertise. These partnerships are cultivated through consistent performance evaluations and compliance-driven contract administration, fostering reliable vendor engagement for time-sensitive, mission-essential tasks. Gallagher demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 20% reserved specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small and veteran-owned firms while ensuring technical competency and mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus spans five key NAICS categories: commercial and institutional building construction, landscaping services, office furniture manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, and rubber and plastics hose and belting production. This diverse technical scope underscores her expertise in procuring both infrastructure and specialized equipment necessary to sustain complex space operations, requiring precision in specification development and source selection.
