Tina K. Edens serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4460 19 Cons Pka unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a critical role in executing facility sustainment and infrastructure support acquisitions. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for maintenance, construction, and environmental services essential to operational readiness at Air Force installations. Her portfolio centers on ensuring the functionality of airfield systems, roadways, utilities, and waste management infrastructure through competitive and compliant contracting practices, aligning with the agency’s mission to sustain mission-critical base operations. Edens maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including DREW INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC and L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, both of which provide specialized solid waste collection and facility support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor partnerships, and adherence to federal acquisition regulations, fostering reliable service delivery across multiple installations. She engages with contractors through firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts, prioritizing accountability and operational continuity. Her procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her contracting decisions are driven by technical capability, past performance, and mission alignment rather than socioeconomic criteria. Edens specializes exclusively in NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), overseeing the acquisition of waste management services critical to environmental compliance and public health on military installations. Her domain expertise includes hazardous and non-hazardous waste handling, recycling program implementation, and contractor performance monitoring under environmental regulations. She ensures all procurements meet DoD and EPA standards, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in military facility sanitation and sustainability operations.
