Miranda E. Zeller

Miranda E. Zeller serves as a Contractor supporting the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions for advanced communications infrastructure, surveillance systems, and facility construction projects essential to airpower readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic modernization goals. She specializes in complex, technically demanding contracts requiring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards for secure, resilient command-and-control environments. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Zeller’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs and firms with specialized expertise in defense-grade communications and infrastructure systems. Her working relationships emphasize collaboration with vendors capable of delivering ruggedized, field-deployable technologies and maintenance services under strict security and performance requirements, fostering a vendor ecosystem grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Zeller demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises. This pattern underscores her alignment with Department of Defense mandates to promote equitable access and innovation through socioeconomic contracting. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to construction and specialized manufacturing, including asphalt paving, concrete product manufacturing, and facility-related services, suggesting a significant portion of her portfolio supports physical infrastructure modernization. Though less conventional for a defense communications agency, these categories indicate a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining mission-critical bases and operational sites, blending civil engineering with technical systems integration to ensure end-to-end readiness.
