Sandra Kharan

Sandra Kharan serves as Contracts Manager for FA4887 56 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where she oversees the acquisition and management of mission-critical infrastructure and industrial support services essential to Air Force installation readiness. Her portfolio encompasses construction, maintenance, and specialized equipment contracts that sustain airfield operations, aviation support facilities, and mission-critical assets. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient procurement processes aligned with Department of the Air Force strategic objectives, with a focus on industrial maintenance, facility upgrades, and technical support services requiring stringent regulatory and safety standards. Kharan maintains established relationships with key contractors including ARKOSE GROUP LLC, SILVER NATIONAL CORP., BLAZING AVIATION LLC, and MACH 2 PRODUCTIONS INC., each bringing specialized capabilities in aviation support, industrial construction, and custom fabrication. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability, technical expertise, and adherence to federal compliance frameworks. These contractors are frequently engaged for complex, multi-phase projects requiring coordination across engineering, logistics, and safety disciplines, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated experience in military environment operations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Kharan consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, accounting for 60% of her acquisitions, with HUBZone set-asides comprising an additional 20%. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within underserved communities while ensuring access to agile, specialized vendors capable of meeting urgent operational needs. No-set-aside procurements are reserved for uniquely complex or mission-critical requirements where sole-source or full-and-open competition is warranted. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors), which represents 60% of her activity, followed by 238110 (Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors) and 336214 (Travel Trailer and Camper Manufacturing). This reflects a specialized domain expertise in facility infrastructure sustainment and mobile support systems, requiring deep knowledge of military-grade construction standards, weather-resistant materials, and modular logistics solutions tailored to expeditionary and garrison environments.
