Christiane Ramos

Christiane Ramos serves as a Facilities Engineering specialist at U.S. Coast Guard Base Miami (70Z028), where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition and oversight of infrastructure maintenance and modernization projects critical to operational readiness. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and administering contracts for facility repairs, structural upgrades, and environmental system enhancements that support maritime missions, including vessel maintenance and base operations. She routinely handles construction-related acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with lifecycle management standards and resilience benchmarks for aging maritime infrastructure. Ramos maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility restoration and building systems, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PHOENIX MARINE LLC, ATZ SOLUTION LLC, and COMMERCIAL BLUE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in marine-adjacent construction, structural envelope work, and mechanical system integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based contract management. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Ramos directs 100% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for qualified firms without regard to size or affiliation. This commitment aligns with the Coast Guard’s broader socioeconomic goals and reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse contractor base capable of meeting specialized facility needs. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 238190 (other foundation and building exterior contractors) and 238320 (painting and wall covering contractors), each representing nearly 27% of her portfolio, alongside significant activity in 238290 (building equipment contractors) and 238330 (flooring contractors). She specializes in acquiring services related to structural rehabilitation, exterior envelope systems, mechanical integration, and metal fenestration, demonstrating deep technical expertise in maritime facility sustainment and infrastructure resilience.
