Tamara F. Lee

Tamara F. Lee serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and mission-enabling service acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with base readiness objectives. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance airfield resilience, utility systems, and secure facility operations through timely and compliant contracting actions. Lee maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors specializing in facility support services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site and infrastructure work, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for environmental compliance services, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related equipment. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in military facility operations, fostering reliable, long-term vendor relationships grounded in quality assurance and regulatory adherence. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lee consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy emphasizes inclusive competition, enabling small firms to compete for mission-critical services without favoring large prime contractors, thereby promoting economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 337215 (Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing), 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), and 561621 (Security Systems Services). These reflect her technical expertise in facility systems, modular construction, and security infrastructure, demonstrating a specialized command over the niche domains essential to Air Force base sustainment.
