Susan C. Phillips-Adames serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3030 17 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of facility-related acquisitions, with a primary focus on maintaining operational readiness through the procurement of building systems maintenance, repair, and upgrade services. Her work ensures the functionality of mission-critical infrastructure, including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, aligning with the agency’s mandate to support personnel readiness and facility resilience through timely, compliant contracting actions. Phillips-Adames maintains strong, recurring relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC, and ACTION CONSTRUCTION AUSTIN LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in facility systems maintenance, site development, and mechanical services. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, performance history, and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet the dynamic needs of Air Force installation operations. Her procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 92.3% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This consistent emphasis underscores a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access for small, locally based firms capable of delivering specialized facility services. Her approach aligns with Department of Defense directives to maximize small business engagement in infrastructure support roles. Her primary NAICS focus is on 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems procurement. She also regularly acquires services tied to electrical, grounds maintenance, and facility repair, demonstrating technical fluency in building infrastructure domains. While other NAICS codes appear in her portfolio, they represent niche or ancillary needs, reinforcing her specialization in mission-critical facility sustainment.
