Nasim Lashaninejad

Nasim Lashaninejad serves as a Contract Specialist 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 spanning facility maintenance, construction services, and technical support contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and Air Force readiness standards. Her work directly enables the modernization of air base infrastructure, including HVAC, electrical, and environmental systems, while prioritizing timely delivery and regulatory adherence across complex, high-stakes operational environments. Lashaninejad 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, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering multi-disciplinary construction and facility services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure quality and compliance across mission-essential projects. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Lashaninejad consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also regularly employs Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding access for veteran-owned enterprises. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with a minority of actions conducted as open competitions when small business capacity is insufficient. Her primary procurement focus centers on five NAICS categories: 423390 (construction material wholesale), 541922 (commercial photography), 624190 (individual and family services), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), and 812930 (parking lot and garage services). This reflects a broad, non-traditional scope that supports both physical infrastructure and ancillary operational needs, requiring nuanced understanding of service delivery models beyond conventional construction. Lashaninejad’s expertise lies in aligning niche service providers with complex Air Force facility requirements, ensuring comprehensive, mission-aligned procurement outcomes.
