Tessa A. Boyea

Tessa A. Boyea serves as a key procurement professional within the FA5606 52 Cons Da Lgc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining operational readiness at overseas installations, including Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to base infrastructure, personnel welfare, and mission continuity, overseeing contracts for construction, transportation, facility services, and specialized aerospace components. Her work ensures that essential services—from water and sewer systems to employee bus transportation and auxiliary aircraft equipment—are procured efficiently to support Air Force global operations. She operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, balancing mission needs with compliance and fiscal responsibility. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, her procurement patterns reflect engagement with a broad base of vendors, including general contractors, specialized manufacturers, and transportation service providers. Her working relationships are characterized by consistent adherence to competitive bidding practices, with a preference for open market solicitations that ensure fair and reasonable pricing while maintaining quality and timeliness. She collaborates with both large and small entities to meet complex, mission-critical requirements under tight operational timelines. Tessa demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 80% of her acquisitions conducted as unrestricted competitions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 15.8% of opportunities as total small business set-asides and 5.3% to 8(a) competed contracts, aligning with Department of Defense mandates to foster vendor diversity and resilience in the supply base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including water and sewer construction, commercial building construction, school and employee bus transportation, and other aircraft parts manufacturing, with a notable concentration in religious organizations—reflecting unique support services for morale, welfare, and recreation on overseas bases. This technical domain expertise underscores her ability to navigate niche requirements in austere environments while ensuring compliance with federal acquisition standards.
