Fatima Berlitz

Fatima Berlitz serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force under FA5613, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support mission-critical infrastructure and aviation sustainment. She executes competitive and non-competitive acquisitions for a diverse range of services and equipment essential to airpower readiness, including facility operations, technical training, and specialized electrical components. Her role ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities of reliability, resilience, and operational continuity. Berlitz routinely handles complex solicitations requiring technical evaluation, source selection, and contract administration across multiple domains. Her primary contractor relationship is with OPTIMUM CLEAN GMBH, indicating a consistent reliance on specialized vendors for niche operational support services. While her portfolio includes a mix of commercial and industrial suppliers, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, non-traditional vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions in facilities support and equipment maintenance. She maintains professional, performance-driven relationships with contractors, emphasizing accountability, delivery timelines, and technical compliance over volume-based sourcing. Berlitz’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s emphasis on mission-critical performance and operational urgency. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all acquisitions remain fully compliant with FAR requirements for fair and open competition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Educational Support Services (611710) and Computer Training (611420), indicating significant investment in workforce development and technical upskilling. She also procures Facilities Support Services (561210), Passenger Car Rental (532111), and Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment (335999), demonstrating a broad operational footprint that spans logistics, training infrastructure, and mission-enabling equipment. Her expertise lies in bridging civilian support functions with military readiness requirements, ensuring seamless integration of commercial services into Air Force operational ecosystems.
