Yolanda Hutcheson

Yolanda Hutcheson serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. Her portfolio spans construction, communications systems, and facility services essential to maintaining secure, resilient airfield operations—including HVAC, wastewater treatment, and secure data transmission infrastructure. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the Air Force’s modernization priorities. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enable global airpower through reliable, high-performance physical and technical systems. Hutcheson maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a key vendor providing specialized engineering and technical services for defense infrastructure projects. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical expertise, particularly in mission-critical systems integration. She engages primarily with established contractors possessing demonstrated capability in defense-sector construction, secure communications, and facility modernization, fostering accountability through rigorous performance evaluations and contract administration. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts are open competition, she actively promotes small business participation and ensures compliance with statutory requirements for small business contracting. Her approach supports broad-based vendor engagement without preference for specific socioeconomic categories, prioritizing capability and capacity over set-aside designations. Hutcheson’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511130 (Software Publishers), 423820 (Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers), and 335921 (Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing), reflecting a diverse technical portfolio that includes secure communications software, specialized equipment distribution, and high-performance fiber optic infrastructure. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling technologies that support both physical and digital resilience across Air Force installations, requiring deep understanding of technical specifications, supply chain logistics, and defense-grade compliance standards.
