Nicole Almaraz

Nicole Almaraz serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3010 81 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical infrastructure and medical support systems. She manages acquisitions focused on the repair, maintenance, and technical servicing of electronic and precision equipment essential to Air Force operational readiness, including diagnostic instruments, environmental control systems, and communications hardware. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain high-availability facilities and medical capabilities through timely, compliant contracting actions that ensure technical reliability and regulatory adherence. Almaraz maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in precision equipment servicing, facility maintenance, and veteran-owned technical operations. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated technical capability in complex maintenance environments, often resulting in repeat engagements based on performance history and compliance with federal standards. Notably, Almaraz’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and vendor capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission-critical outcomes over preference-based contracting mechanisms. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her contractor base includes several service-disabled veteran-owned firms, suggesting alignment with broader DoD goals without formal socioeconomic constraints. Her primary focus is NAICS 811210—Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance—indicating deep expertise in the servicing of high-value, mission-critical instrumentation used in medical, environmental, and communications systems. She procures specialized technical services requiring certified technicians, calibration compliance, and adherence to military specifications, positioning her at the intersection of logistics, maintenance, and operational sustainment within the Air Force’s infrastructure modernization mission.
