Susianne Patterson

Susianne D. Patterson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize infrastructure essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses a broad range of procurement activities, including facility maintenance, communications systems upgrades, and cyber-enabled infrastructure support. Patterson specializes in managing complex contracts under FAR Part 15, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic priorities in HVAC, electrical systems, and secure computing environments. She is instrumental in translating technical requirements into enforceable contract deliverables that support installation resilience across multiple Air Force bases. Patterson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large-capacity service providers and specialized technical vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions for mission-critical facilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a focus on long-term service delivery, lifecycle support, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards. She fosters collaborative vendor engagement to ensure timely execution and mission continuity under demanding operational conditions. Her set-aside preferences demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-third of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily Total Small Business (18.2%) and HUBZone (13.6%) categories. While the majority of her contracts remain open competition (65.9%), she actively promotes socioeconomic inclusion through targeted outreach and structured set-asides, including occasional Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business awards. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand the vendor base while maintaining high standards for technical capability and delivery reliability. Patterson’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection) and 562111 (Passenger Car Leasing), which together account for over 60% of her portfolio, indicating a strong emphasis on facility support services and logistics mobility. She also regularly procures Engineering Services (541330) and Custom Computer Programming (541511) to enhance infrastructure automation and secure data environments. Her domain expertise lies in the intersection of physical infrastructure sustainment and mission-critical IT systems, making her a key enabler of Air Force readiness through integrated, compliant acquisitions.
