Doris A. Alaniz

Doris A. Alaniz serves as a Contract Specialist within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to national security space missions at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Her portfolio encompasses facility maintenance, utilities modernization, security systems, and technical support contracts that sustain launch and test site readiness. She plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities of infrastructure resilience and aging system modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-specific technical requirements. Alaniz maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and civil works, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for specialized technical support, and KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics and transportation. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense infrastructure environments and a track record of performance in high-security, mission-sensitive settings. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and long-term vendor stability. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by 20% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster small business growth while ensuring access to qualified, certified vendors capable of meeting the unique demands of space operations infrastructure. Only 20% of her awards are non-set-aside, typically reserved for specialized or urgent requirements with limited qualified sources. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 237310 for highway and bridge construction supporting site access, 337215 for custom storage and security cabinetry, 811219 for specialized facility repair and maintenance services, and 923130 for human resource program administration supporting workforce readiness. This technical breadth underscores her expertise in procuring both physical infrastructure and enabling administrative services critical to sustaining operational continuity at a premier space launch facility.
