Diana S. Rhame serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4803 20 Cons Lgca unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing construction and facility support acquisitions critical to maintaining operational readiness at Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—primarily for commercial and institutional building construction, infrastructure modernization, and facility maintenance services. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in base resilience and infrastructure sustainability. Rhame maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as CAROLINA GROUND SERVICE EQUIPMENT INC, fostering partnerships grounded in performance reliability and technical expertise in facility support systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors capable of delivering specialized services in roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and ground support equipment maintenance, often requiring precise adherence to military construction standards and safety protocols. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her actions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small business participation while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent operational needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 238330 (Flooring Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), and 541990 (Other Professional Services), underscoring her expertise in integrated facility upgrades. She routinely procures turnkey construction services, specialized trades, and technical consulting to support the modernization of military infrastructure, ensuring that all acquisitions meet rigorous performance, safety, and sustainability benchmarks.
