Yolanda Lillard

Yolanda Lillard serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized maintenance, medical, and facility services that ensure operational readiness and infrastructure resilience. She routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on service-based contracts requiring technical evaluation and performance-based specifications. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing communications systems, medical facilities, and airfield infrastructure, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Lillard maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with firms experienced in facility operations, medical logistics, and technical support services. She cultivates long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability and compliance with contract deliverables, often leveraging past performance data to inform source selection decisions and reduce acquisition risk. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lillard prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her acquisitions designated for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense supply chain, consistently aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals. While she does not favor specific socioeconomically designated categories like 8(a) or HUBZone exclusively, her portfolio demonstrates a balanced, high-volume commitment to small business eligibility and competition. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 327910 (Abrasive Product Manufacturing), 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), and 484230 (Specialized Freight Trucking). This reflects expertise in procuring technical services, specialized industrial equipment, and logistics support critical to maintaining Air Force facility integrity and mission-enabling infrastructure.
