SSgt. Jacqueline S. Evans

TSgt. Jacqueline S. Evans serves as a secondary contracting representative within the 436th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, supporting the operational readiness of Air Force installations through facility sustainment and infrastructure maintenance acquisitions. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a critical role in executing and administering contracts for construction and specialized facility services, ensuring alignment with mission-critical air base requirements. Her work directly supports the squadron’s mandate to maintain hangars, security systems, and aircraft support infrastructure through timely, compliant procurement actions. Evans maintains a consistent working relationship with OSTROM PAINTING & SANDBLASTING, INC, a primary vendor for surface preparation and protective coating services essential to facility preservation. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient small contractors with proven experience in military facility environments, fostering reliable, repeat partnerships grounded in performance history and regulatory compliance rather than speculative bidding. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her actions set aside for total small business under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while ensuring access to niche capabilities. She rarely utilizes other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a preference for broad small business eligibility over targeted programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction and NAICS 238320 for painting and wall covering contractors. She specializes in acquiring services related to structural maintenance, corrosion control, and facility rehabilitation, requiring technical knowledge of military construction standards, environmental compliance, and life-cycle asset management. Her expertise ensures that facility upgrades meet Air Force durability and operational readiness benchmarks.
