Yvette H. Dluhos

Yvette H. Dluhos serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical infrastructure sustainment for missile field and launch facility operations. Her procurement activities center on mission-critical services that ensure the operational readiness, security, and resilience of remote nuclear deterrence assets, including command systems, utilities, and environmental compliance infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and long-term sustainment agreements that support continuous mission execution in austere environments. Dluhos maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including OLGOONIK SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, LLC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and SAFEWARE INC., all of which provide specialized technical services tailored to defense infrastructure maintenance, security systems, and environmental remediation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade operations, often leveraging task-order contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive, scalable support across geographically dispersed sites. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Dluhos consistently structures solicitations as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 83% of her awards reserved for small businesses and 16.7% designated for HUBZone firms. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while accessing niche capabilities critical to remote facility sustainment. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), where she secures hazardous material management, soil remediation, and compliance monitoring services. She also procures specialized HVAC and refrigeration equipment (NAICS 333415) to maintain climate-controlled infrastructure, with ancillary purchases in wholesale distribution (NAICS 423220) supporting facility logistics. Her technical domain expertise spans defense environmental compliance, mission-critical utilities, and infrastructure modernization in high-security operational zones.
