Karen Czerwiec

Karen Czerwiec serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Aviation Administration’s 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical aviation infrastructure. She manages mission-critical acquisitions for facility operations, maintenance, and construction services essential to the operational readiness of Air Traffic Control Towers and Flight Standard District Offices. Her work ensures compliance with FAA safety and regulatory standards through the procurement of specialized construction and engineering services, with a focus on lifecycle support for federal aviation facilities. Czerwiec maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering complex, code-compliant construction and facility maintenance services under tight operational constraints. Her contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical proficiency, and proven performance in high-stakes aviation environments, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and quality assurance. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of contracts set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. While the majority of awards are unrestricted, she actively prioritizes small business engagement without reliance on specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection over socioeconomic categorization alone. Czerwiec’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), followed by industrial and commercial building construction (236210 and 236220), with significant activity in water and sewer infrastructure (237110) and roofing systems (238160). Her expertise centers on procuring integrated facility systems that support the FAA’s mission-critical infrastructure, requiring deep technical knowledge of building codes, aviation facility standards, and performance-based contracting methodologies.
