Natasha L Stahla

Natasha L. Stahla serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize remote nuclear deterrence infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for facility sustainment, security systems, and utility modernization at missile field and launch facilities. She ensures compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements while aligning procurements with national security priorities and operational readiness goals. Stahla maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc., who provide specialized engineering, security, and facility support services critical to remote defense installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency and mission-specific performance, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and adaptive solutions for austere environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Stahla consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 71.4% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to enhance competition, promote economic resilience within the defense industrial base, and leverage the agility of small firms in delivering tailored infrastructure solutions. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), which primarily supports facility maintenance and custodial services at isolated sites; NAICS 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing), used for secure command and control interiors; and NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment Wholesalers), reflecting the need for specialized medical supply chains in contingency-ready locations. These patterns reveal a nuanced understanding of non-traditional defense procurement domains essential to sustaining mission-critical infrastructure in remote, high-security environments.
