Miranda S. Croom

Miranda S. Croom serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force at FA2521 45 Cons Pk, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and infrastructure systems essential to airfield and range operational readiness. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications infrastructure. Croom plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely and compliant procurement of high-technology equipment and facility services that sustain Air Force mission capabilities, aligning acquisitions with federal contracting regulations and operational priorities. She maintains established working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Roberts Treescaping, LLC for landscape and grounds maintenance services, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C. for specialized marine infrastructure support, Cypress Solutions LLC for technical and IT-enabled facility services, and Interconnect Wiring LLP for mission-critical wiring and cabling systems. These partnerships reflect a pattern of recurring collaboration with vendors possessing niche technical expertise and proven performance in complex, regulated environments, indicating a preference for reliable, experienced suppliers with demonstrated capability in high-stakes operational settings. Croom’s contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 8.3% dedicated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering competition and expanding opportunities for qualified small entities in support of Air Force procurement objectives. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers) and 485510 (Charter Bus Industry), alongside 334512 for automatic environmental control systems and 531120 for nonresidential building leasing. This indicates expertise in acquiring software-enabled instrumentation, transportation logistics support, climate control equipment, and facility management services critical to sustaining aerospace operations in remote and high-demand environments.
