Odini Nikolai Ramos

Odini Nikolai Ramos serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NQ Uspfo Activity Nm Arng, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining the readiness and operational welfare of the New Mexico Army National Guard. In this role, Ramos manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. Their work directly supports critical force sustainment functions, including dining services, lodging, and infrastructure maintenance essential to training and deployment cycles. Ramos specializes in acquiring non-complex, mission-critical services that directly impact troop quality of life and operational mobility, often coordinating with logistics and facilities teams to align contracting actions with unit readiness goals. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Ramos maintains a robust network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Their contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for small business participation, with over 82% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This includes a notable emphasis on Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and foster local economic resilience in support of National Guard operations. Ramos demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 94% of procurements directed toward small business set-asides, including SBA 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Their approach prioritizes equitable access to federal opportunities, ensuring that underserved and veteran-owned enterprises are actively engaged in supporting military readiness. This pattern underscores a mission-aligned focus on building sustainable, community-based supply chains that enhance long-term operational flexibility. The primary NAICS focus areas reflect a specialized procurement portfolio centered on food service and hospitality support, particularly NAICS 722320 (Caterers), which accounts for over 20% of activity. Additional focus includes specialized manufacturing for dining infrastructure—such as metal kitchenware (332215)—and niche industrial services. This technical domain expertise positions Ramos as a key steward of non-combat, sustainment-focused acquisitions critical to maintaining force readiness through daily operational support.
