Susan L. Schindler

Susan L. Schindler serves as a key procurement professional within the 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services, a unit of the Federal Aviation Administration under the Department of Transportation. She is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical support services essential to sustaining the operational readiness of Air Traffic Control Towers, Flight Standard District Offices, and related aviation infrastructure. Her work directly supports the FAA’s mandate to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant air navigation systems through timely and compliant contracting. Schindler primarily handles service-based acquisitions, focusing on facility maintenance, security, and janitorial services that underpin the daily function of federal aviation facilities. Schindler maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal facility support, particularly those capable of delivering integrated maintenance, security, and construction-related services across geographically dispersed aviation sites. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-standing vendor relationships characterized by repeat performance, reliability, and compliance with federal facility standards. Schindler’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical capability and past performance rather than socioeconomic designations, though small business participation may still occur organically through competitive bidding without formal set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, and NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), representing the remainder. She procures comprehensive facility support services including cleaning, waste management, access control, surveillance systems, and alarm monitoring—services critical to maintaining secure, clean, and operational aviation facilities nationwide.
