Valarie Fleming

Valarie Fleming serves as a secondary procurement contact within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of mission-critical technical services and specialized maintenance solutions that enhance pilot readiness, command and control infrastructure, and tactical communication systems. Her work is integral to ensuring timely delivery of operational support contracts aligned with Air Combat Command’s strategic modernization goals, particularly in areas requiring rapid integration of advanced training systems and maintenance services for high-value aerospace assets. Fleming maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and specialized service providers with proven expertise in defense-grade maintenance and training system integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned technical services under tight operational timelines, often requiring compliance with military specifications and secure logistics protocols. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her portfolio designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 33.3% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while ensuring access to niche capabilities only available through certified small disadvantaged firms. Her pattern aligns with Department of the Air Force mandates to maximize socioeconomic diversity in mission-critical acquisitions. Fleming’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). She routinely manages contracts for environmental remediation of military installations and the maintenance of non-automotive, non-electronic aerospace support equipment—domains requiring specialized technical knowledge and adherence to DoD environmental and safety standards. Her expertise centers on sustaining legacy and next-generation air combat systems through precision maintenance and compliance-driven service delivery.
