Farah Surin

Farah Surin serves as a Contracting Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Carson under the Department of the Army, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions supporting the operational readiness of elite special operations units, particularly the 10th Special Forces Group (A). Her portfolio centers on procuring specialized logistical, instructional, and infrastructure services tailored for austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude environments. Farah executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, ensuring compliance with national security requirements while delivering timely, mission-aligned solutions that sustain tactical training and field operations in extreme conditions. Farah maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of niche contractors, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, Aleut Field Services, LLC, Vision Distributors LLC, Anyone Not Ready LLC, and Rod’s Alaskan Big Game & Wilderness Guide Services LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized service providers with domain expertise in remote-area logistics, survival training, and equipment distribution. Her contracting approach prioritizes vendors with proven experience in expeditionary environments, fostering long-term, performance-based relationships that emphasize adaptability, reliability, and mission-specific capability. Farah’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority remain open to all competitors. She actively leverages small business capabilities without compromising mission requirements, demonstrating a pragmatic commitment to fostering competition among qualified small entities, particularly those with Arctic, alpine, or wilderness operational experience. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 333924 (Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing), reflecting a unique blend of environmental support and heavy equipment procurement. Farah specializes in acquiring terrain-modification services, specialized material handling systems, and ruggedized vehicle components essential for sustaining operations in remote, high-mobility zones, demonstrating deep technical understanding of both field logistics and industrial equipment standards.
