Caterina Rothhaar (Henn)

Caterina Rothhaar (Henn) serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force under the FA5613 designation, responsible for managing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain airpower readiness. She oversees the acquisition of facilities and infrastructure support services essential to maintaining operational airfields, command and control environments, and aviation support systems. Her portfolio centers on non-defense, service-based contracts that ensure the reliability and resilience of base operations, with a strong emphasis on compliance, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes. Rothhaar (Henn) routinely executes task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), prioritizing efficiency and continuity in support of Air Force readiness objectives. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by OPTIMUM CLEAN GMBH, a key vendor delivering high-volume facility services across multiple Air Force installations. She maintains a consistent, long-term contracting pattern with this entity, reflecting a preference for proven, scalable service providers with demonstrated operational reliability. While her contracting approach is largely performance-driven, she engages with a limited pool of qualified vendors who meet stringent quality and compliance standards, fostering stable, predictable delivery of essential services without frequent vendor rotation. Rothhaar (Henn) has a zero percent set-aside preference, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. Her contracting strategy reflects a deliberate focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomic classification, prioritizing service quality and operational continuity. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she adheres strictly to FAR requirements and maintains transparency in all sourcing decisions. Her procurement focus is concentrated in facilities support services, with NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) accounting for over half of her activity, followed by 561720 (Janitorial Services), 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and 561210 (Facilities Support Services). She specializes in integrated, mission-critical custodial, grounds maintenance, and security operations that directly support base functionality and force protection, demonstrating deep expertise in performance-based service acquisition and outcome-driven contract management.
