Karin A Quagliato

Karin A. Quagliato serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, supporting mission-critical infrastructure sustainment and operational readiness at military installations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, construction services, and technical support essential to air base functionality. Her work ensures compliance with safety, environmental, and readiness standards, directly enabling the Air Force’s ability to maintain high-tempo flight operations and modernize aging infrastructure. She routinely handles complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle cost efficiency. Quagliato maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized construction, facility support, and technical services under tight operational timelines. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term vendor reliability, with repeat engagements suggesting established trust in performance, compliance, and responsiveness to mission needs. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over 63% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals. She also regularly utilizes service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, reflecting alignment with federal mandates to support veteran-owned enterprises. While no set-aside is applied in roughly one-third of actions, the overall pattern reveals a deliberate and structured effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. Quagliato’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to facilities support services, educational support services, miscellaneous manufacturing, passenger car rental, and information services—each accounting for approximately 9.5% of her portfolio. This diversified yet targeted approach underscores her role in procuring not only physical infrastructure services but also ancillary support functions critical to base operations, including logistics, maintenance, and administrative support systems.
