Cynthia Panasiewicz

Cynthia Panasiewicz serves as a key procurement professional within the FA6670 914 AW LGC, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and facilities at military installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facilities maintenance, environmental services, and operational support, ensuring installations remain secure, habitable, and mission-ready. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain aging infrastructure through timely contracting for construction, repair, and logistical services, with an emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. She maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including La Salle Hospitality Inc. and Paradigm Environmental Services, Inc., reflecting a pattern of engagement with vendors specializing in lodging, sanitation, waste management, and facility operations. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability and operational continuity, often awarding task orders to established service providers with proven capabilities in military installation support environments. These partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts to enable responsive, scalable support. Panasiewicz demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic opportunities, favoring small business set-asides over open competitions and aligning with Department of the Air Force goals to broaden vendor diversity. While no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant, her portfolio consistently channels opportunities to small firms capable of delivering essential installation services. Her primary NAICS focus includes Testing Laboratories and Services (541380), Hotels and Motels (721110), and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (488190), indicating expertise in procuring environmental compliance testing, transient lodging for personnel, and airfield support services. She also engages in acquisitions related to lawn and garden equipment and aircraft auxiliary components, showcasing a broad operational scope that bridges facility management with aviation infrastructure readiness.
