Carlos R. Ramer

Carlos R. Ramer serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex infrastructure and sustainment contracts critical to nuclear deterrence operations. He oversees acquisitions supporting the maintenance, modernization, and security of remote missile field installations, launch facilities, and associated utility systems. His portfolio emphasizes mission-critical construction, specialized manufacturing, and communications infrastructure essential to operational readiness. Ramer’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Air Force’s long-term resilience goals, ensuring continuity of nuclear command and control capabilities under austere conditions. Ramer maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These partners provide niche expertise in remote site construction, secure facility systems, and mission-critical environmental controls. His contracting approach favors vendors with proven experience in DoD remote infrastructure, often requiring security clearances and familiarity with nuclear surety standards. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration with firms capable of operating in geographically isolated, high-security environments. Ramer demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 61.5% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services in defense infrastructure, aligning with broader DoD socioeconomic goals. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, his portfolio reflects deliberate efforts to expand opportunities for qualified small firms with relevant domain experience. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 333120 (construction machinery manufacturing), 238330 (flooring contractors), and 333611 (turbine and generator manufacturing), reflecting a technical emphasis on durable infrastructure components, facility upgrades, and power systems for remote launch sites. He routinely procures fabricated metal products, specialized communications equipment, and site-specific construction services tailored to hardened, environmentally sensitive locations, demonstrating deep expertise in defense infrastructure sustainment.
