Maryann C Makurat

Maryann C. Makurat serves as a Contract Officer within the Department of the Air Force under FA4484, responsible for managing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain air base infrastructure and ensure operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of construction, maintenance, and technical services essential to maintaining high-readiness environments for aircraft and personnel. Her portfolio primarily includes facilities-related contracts governed by FAR Part 36, with a focus on civil engineering, utilities, and building systems. Makurat ensures compliance with environmental, safety, and energy efficiency standards while aligning acquisitions with Air Force installation modernization priorities. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with established contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in infrastructure repair, modular construction, and mechanical systems installation. Makurat consistently engages these vendors on complex, multi-year projects requiring technical expertise in HVAC, plumbing, and structural systems, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with 40.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 3.7% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors (55.6%), she actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms, aligning with Department of Defense goals for equitable access and workforce development. Makurat’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 237110 (water and sewer infrastructure), and 238220 (HVAC and plumbing systems), reflecting her specialization in utility modernization and facility sustainment. She frequently procures prefabricated metal components and industrial equipment maintenance services, demonstrating deep expertise in civil works, mechanical systems integration, and infrastructure resilience initiatives critical to Air Force base operations.
