Mark A Chranowski

Mark A. Chranowski serves as a Contracting Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354th Contracting Squadron, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-enabling systems. His portfolio focuses on construction, site preparation, and industrial supply procurement to ensure operational readiness at remote and austere locations. Chranowski plays a pivotal role in executing contracts aligned with the Air Force’s strategic priorities of infrastructure resilience, preventive maintenance, and rapid deployment of field support systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as Combat Medical Systems LLC, primarily engaged in specialized equipment and logistical support for expeditionary operations. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade infrastructure and industrial supply chains, often collaborating with firms possessing niche expertise in rapid-response construction and field-deployable systems. These partnerships are cultivated through transparent solicitation processes and performance-based contract management to ensure reliability and mission alignment. Chranowski demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 39% of his awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, alongside significant allocations to HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. His procurement strategy actively promotes broad small business participation, balancing competitive set-asides with non-set-aside opportunities to maintain agility while advancing diversity and inclusion goals in defense contracting. His primary NAICS focus areas include 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction) and 238910 (Site Preparation), reflecting his specialization in airfield and expeditionary infrastructure development. He also routinely procures industrial supplies under 423840 and landscaping services under 561730 to support facility sustainment. Chranowski’s technical expertise lies in the integration of durable, field-deployable construction systems and mission-critical utility infrastructure essential to aerospace operational continuity.
