Ranetta M. DeRamos serves as a key secondary procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Knox, a unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness through hospitality, food service, and recreational infrastructure. While not holding a formal contracting officer title, DeRamos supports the agency’s mission by facilitating the acquisition of essential services that enhance troop welfare, morale, and operational continuity. Her work centers on managing the lifecycle of non-combat, quality-of-life contracts, including lodging, dining, laundry, and recreational facility support, ensuring alignment with Army regulations and fiscal stewardship standards. DeRamos maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including CHENEGA GOVERNMENT MISSION SOLUTIONS, LLC, OCS-NCS JV II, LLC, and SPACE AGE ENGINEERING, INC., who provide integrated hospitality and facility management solutions.
