Carrie J. Piascik

Carrie J. Piascik serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to sustaining airpower readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized trade contracts, with a primary focus on the design, construction, and maintenance of secure communications facilities, surveillance infrastructure, and command-and-control environments. Her acquisitions directly enable the fielding and sustainment of advanced broadcasting, radar, and electronic warfare systems, ensuring the Air Force’s technological edge remains resilient and responsive to evolving threats. Piascik collaborates with a broad spectrum of qualified specialty trade contractors, primarily engaged in complex facility construction and technical system integration. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in military-grade construction, electromagnetic shielding, and secure facility retrofitting. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical compliance, and contractor accountability under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD security and operational standards. Piascik’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission urgency and technical specificity, where qualifications and capability outweigh socioeconomic categorization. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations remain fully compliant with federal small business goals, and eligible small businesses may compete on equal footing when they meet the required technical and security credentials. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 238990 — All Other Specialty Trade Contractors — encompassing high-risk, high-precision construction and installation services for secure military installations. She procures services involving RF shielding, hardened facility construction, fiber-optic network integration, and electromagnetic compatibility upgrades, requiring deep technical expertise in DoD 5220.22-M standards and NISPOM compliance. Her domain expertise centers on ensuring that physical infrastructure supports the integrity of classified communications and surveillance systems critical to national defense.
