Zandra Hearn

Zandra F. Hearn serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions that sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for facility upgrades, electronic systems integration, and fire safety modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force operational readiness goals. She routinely handles complex acquisitions involving construction, information technology services, and specialized equipment procurement to support secure, resilient installations across the Air Force enterprise. Hearn maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, combining established firms with specialized technical capabilities and small business entities capable of delivering tailored solutions for facility modernization and systems integration. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and performance accountability across diverse project scopes. Her procurement strategy demonstrates strong support for socioeconomic programs, with nearly two-thirds of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Women-Owned Small Businesses and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunity within the defense supply chain while maintaining high standards of contractor capability and compliance. Hearn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with significant activity also in commercial building construction and audio-video equipment procurement. Her expertise spans infrastructure modernization, secure communications systems, and integrated facility technologies, positioning her at the intersection of civil engineering and defense IT systems procurement.
