Rene Streander

Rene K. Streander serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force at FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350, where she manages mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize defense infrastructure. Her portfolio focuses on acquiring specialized facility systems, electronic communication platforms, and fire safety technologies essential to operational readiness across Air Force installations. She executes full lifecycle contracting activities under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with national security requirements while delivering resilient, high-performance infrastructure solutions aligned with the agency’s strategic modernization goals. Streander maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, integrated systems—ranging from facility upgrades to advanced control devices—under tight operational timelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term collaboration with firms that demonstrate proven capability in defense-critical environments. While the majority of her acquisitions (83.3%) are conducted without set-asides, she consistently allocates 16.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad vendor access while maintaining mission integrity, ensuring small businesses with relevant technical expertise are afforded equitable opportunity within her acquisition stream. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), which reflects a unique alignment with specialized facility support services, alongside significant activity in NAICS 326220 (Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing) and NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing). This uncommon combination underscores her expertise in procuring niche industrial components and infrastructure subsystems critical to facility resilience, fire suppression systems, and environmental control technologies within defense installations.
