Ileana Modan

Ileana Modan serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office of the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure support services essential to U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for facility maintenance, specialized construction, and equipment servicing that sustain operational readiness across Europe and other deployed environments. She specializes in complex, mission-critical procurements involving technical specifications for airfield systems, utilities, and logistics infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army contracting policies. Modan maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., partnering with firms capable of delivering high-reliability, mission-essential services under demanding operational conditions. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for vendors possessing proven expertise in military-grade facility support and international logistics compliance. These relationships are characterized by long-term engagement, rigorous performance monitoring, and a focus on mission continuity rather than transactional procurement. Modan’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with the technical capacity to meet complex, large-scale infrastructure requirements. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized in her portfolio, her contracting decisions prioritize capability, past performance, and readiness over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary industry focus is on NAICS 333241—Food Product Machinery Manufacturing—reflecting a specialized procurement stream centered on industrial-scale food processing, storage, and distribution equipment critical to garrison dining facilities and deployed field kitchens. This niche expertise underscores her technical proficiency in procuring highly engineered, USDA-compliant food service systems that support troop sustainment and quality-of-life standards in austere environments.
