2d Contracting SquadronChief, Construction Flt
Feb. 2010Barksdale Air Force Base, LouisianaThe foundation of my experience is through the Air Force. I did 20 years on active duty as a Contract Specialist, working my way up to a Superintendent in charge of enlisted personnel at a Contracting Squadron. After retiring, I was hired by the Air Force as a Team Lead over Service and Commodity contracts and a year later was promoted to Flight Chief over 2 teams including construction, service and commodity contracts. Now, I manage a team of 12 -14 military and civilian personnel on Construction contracts with a portfolio of over $100M in contracts. I assign workload, review packages/solicitations and awards to ensure all contain the proper documents, clauses and other related information. I create and hold monthly flight training in order to improve the contract administrators knowledge and the products they produce. I train other contracting officers and am a member of the squadron warrant board. We conduct Source Selections using both Lowest Price Technically Acceptable and Performance Price Tradeoff procedures.
