Susan C. Hoover

Susan C. Hoover serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force, assigned to FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350, where she manages mission-critical procurement activities supporting infrastructure modernization and operational readiness across Air Force installations. Her portfolio focuses on the acquisition of landscaping services essential to maintaining secure, resilient, and mission-ready facilities, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and defense-specific site requirements. Hoover plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and strategic readiness goals. She maintains long-standing, high-volume contracting relationships with a select group of vendors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on established contractors with proven capabilities in site development, grounds maintenance, and integrated landscape management for federal installations. Hoover’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, strict adherence to technical specifications, and accountability through robust contract oversight. Hoover’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her contracting decisions are driven by technical capability, past performance, and mission necessity, ensuring optimal value and operational continuity. Her primary area of expertise lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), where she procures comprehensive grounds maintenance, irrigation system installation, erosion control, turf management, and vegetation restoration services tailored to military facility standards. Hoover’s technical domain expertise centers on sustaining mission-critical outdoor environments that support security, safety, and aesthetic compliance across Air Force installations, with an emphasis on fire-resistant landscaping and sustainable site practices aligned with defense infrastructure modernization priorities.
