Ranetta M. DeRamos

Ranetta M. DeRamos serves as a secondary procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Knox, a Department of the Army organization under the W9124D contract vehicle, supporting the readiness and quality of life for military personnel through the acquisition of critical hospitality, food service, and recreational infrastructure. While not the lead contracting officer, DeRamos plays a vital supporting role in managing the lifecycle of solicitations, contract administration, and vendor compliance for services that sustain troop morale and operational continuity. Her work centers on non-combat, mission-enabling acquisitions including lodging, dining, and recreational support, ensuring alignment with Department of Defense standards for efficiency and troop welfare. DeRamos routinely collaborates with a core group of established contractors, including CHENEGA GOVERNMENT MISSION SOLUTIONS, LLC, OCS-NCS JV II, LLC, and SPACE AGE ENGINEERING, INC, as well as specialized vendors such as C.R. & A. CUSTOM APPAREL INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, repeat performers capable of delivering integrated hospitality and facility support services across military installations. Her procurement patterns indicate a reliance on long-standing vendor relationships with proven performance histories, particularly in on-base service delivery environments requiring high reliability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting activity reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of all procurements set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable emphasis on socioeconomic programs including 8(a) and Women-Owned Small Business set-asides. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access to DoD contracts while maintaining service quality and operational readiness. DeRamos’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 721214 for recreational and vacation camps, followed by drycleaning and laundry services (812320) and food service contracting (722310). Her expertise lies in managing complex, service-based contracts that support daily living standards for service members, requiring deep familiarity with facility operations, perishable food logistics, and specialty trade contracting under 238990.
