Chwalik serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness across Air Force installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on technical services, facility sustainment, and IT modernization, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing the Air Force’s priorities in communications resilience, cybersecurity, and base operations support. Her work directly enables the sustainment of airfield systems, personnel welfare services, and mission-critical computing environments through strategic sourcing and contract execution. Chwalik maintains consistent working relationships with IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, both of which provide specialized facility integration and IT modernization services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in mission-enabling environments, particularly those capable of delivering integrated solutions for command, control, and communications infrastructure. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based requirements, and a focus on long-term operational reliability over short-term cost savings. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base.
