Robin Cramer

Robin E. Cramer serves as the Primary Contracting Officer for FA2517, 21 Cons Bldg 350, under the Department of the Air Force, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on facility modernization, secure communications, and fire safety system upgrades, ensuring installations meet evolving defense standards. She manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR Part 15, including complex performance-based service contracts and integrated systems acquisitions, often requiring technical evaluation panels and risk mitigation strategies. Cramer’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic goal of sustaining resilient, high-availability defense environments through timely, compliant, and innovative contracting solutions. Cramer maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of 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 vendors with proven expertise in aerospace facility support, electronic systems integration, and mission-critical construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance accountability, technical compliance, and contractor past performance evaluation, fostering collaborative yet rigorous oversight throughout contract execution. While the majority of her acquisitions—78.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Cramer maintains a consistent 21.4% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate focus on enabling small business participation in defense infrastructure projects. She actively engages qualified small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, prioritizing those with demonstrated experience in facility modernization and IT systems support, though she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her procurement focus is concentrated in three primary NAICS categories: 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), accounting for 45.5% of her portfolio, which includes airfield support and ground operations systems; 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), at 36.4%, reflecting her work with secure communications and network infrastructure; and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), at 18.2%, underscoring her expertise in managing IT infrastructure and data center operations for defense-critical environments.
