Dounia Izem

Dounia Izem serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the FA3002 338 Ess Cc, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining advanced military aviation training systems. In this capacity, she supports the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts focused on professional development and flight training services, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. Her role involves coordinating acquisition documentation, evaluating vendor proposals, and facilitating compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly for high-fidelity training solutions used by enlisted personnel, officers, and international partners. Izem maintains a consistent working relationship with CLEARWATERS INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized aviation training systems and curriculum development services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military flight instruction and workforce development, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical reliability and mission compatibility. While she does not lead contracting decisions independently, her contributions are essential in enabling efficient contract execution and vendor performance oversight. Izem’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with no use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance outcomes and system interoperability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), encompassing synthetic flight simulators, instructor-led curriculum design, aircrew proficiency sustainment programs, and integrated training management systems. She specializes in acquiring high-fidelity, mission-essential training solutions that directly support the Air Force’s strategic modernization of pilot and crew readiness across domestic and allied forces.
