Diana Puhak

Diana Puhak serves as a Procurement Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, where she manages critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-enabling systems. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for heavy civil engineering projects that ensure operational readiness at remote and forward-deployed locations. She specializes in the procurement of complex construction services, including airfield pavement rehabilitation, utility system upgrades, and rapid-deployment infrastructure support, aligning acquisitions with the Air Force’s strategic priorities of resilience, preventive maintenance, and expeditionary capability. Puhak maintains a primary working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a key contractor delivering specialized engineering and construction services tailored to austere environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military standards for quality, safety, and schedule adherence in high-tempo operational settings. Her contracting activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued under no set-aside preferences. This indicates a deliberate emphasis on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic categorizations, ensuring optimal mission outcomes across high-priority infrastructure projects. Puhak’s procurement portfolio is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—reflecting her deep expertise in large-scale, non-residential infrastructure projects. She routinely procures services involving earthwork, grading, drainage, airfield lighting, fuel systems, and expeditionary construction, requiring specialized knowledge of military engineering specifications and Department of Defense construction standards. Her technical domain centers on enabling aerospace operations through robust, resilient, and rapidly deployable physical infrastructure.
