Renee G. Rausch serves as a Contracting Officer for the W7M8 Uspfo Activity IA ARNG under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of specialized training and operational support services critical to the Iowa National Guard’s domestic security mission. Her portfolio centers on technical instruction programs in counterdrug operations, law enforcement tactics, and personnel readiness, ensuring state-level units maintain operational capability through compliant, timely contract actions. She executes procurements under full and open competition and small business set-asides, adhering to FAR guidelines while aligning acquisitions with Army National Guard readiness objectives. Rausch maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Triplex Enterprises, L.L.C., Cardno TEC-Leidos, LLC, and Ecology Mir Group LLC, all of which provide specialized technical services in facility construction, training infrastructure, and operational support. Her procurement patterns reflect long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and mission alignment, with a preference for contractors possessing demonstrated expertise in military-compatible construction and law enforcement training environments. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagement and a focus on delivering mission-critical capabilities under tight operational timelines. Rausch’s set-aside strategy reflects a balanced approach: 75% of her acquisitions are awarded under full and open competition, while 25% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. She actively promotes small business participation without favoring specific socioeconomic categories, ensuring broad competition while meeting statutory obligations. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, equitable access, and sustainable vendor development across the small business community. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — reflecting her specialization in procuring facility upgrades, training centers, and infrastructure supporting counterdrug and tactical operations. She oversees construction-related services including site preparation, building renovation, and utility integration tailored to military training environments, demonstrating deep technical understanding of DoD facility standards and operational requirements for secure, functional training spaces.
