Sandra Kharan

Sandra Kharan serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing technical and services acquisitions that sustain mission-critical airfield and base infrastructure. She specializes in contracting for facility modernization, cybersecurity-enabling systems, and operational support services essential to Air Force readiness. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes acquisitions aligned with communications modernization, IT resilience, and personnel welfare, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic infrastructure goals. Kharan maintains close working relationships with IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, both of which provide specialized facility services and technical support solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, with a preference for contractors demonstrating proven expertise in base operations support, modular construction, and integrated facility management. These relationships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration, often involving task order solicitations under multiple-award contracts to ensure responsive and scalable service delivery. Her procurement strategy is defined by a 100% small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic diversity and small business empowerment. All awards are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with no open competitions, ensuring equitable access for eligible firms regardless of size. This consistent application underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate a robust small business ecosystem within Air Force support contracting. Despite the agency’s broader focus on IT and infrastructure, Kharan’s acquisitions are narrowly concentrated in NAICS 339920—Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing—indicating a specialized procurement domain likely tied to physical training equipment, recreational facility assets, or morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) infrastructure. This unusual focus suggests a targeted effort to enhance personnel readiness through quality-of-life facilities, demonstrating nuanced expertise in aligning seemingly non-traditional procurement categories with core Air Force mission support objectives.
