SrA Maximos Ramirez

SrA Maximos Ramirez serves as a secondary contracting support specialist within the FA4830 23 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force tasked with sustaining airborne operational readiness through precision procurement. Though not a primary contracting officer, Ramirez plays a critical role in facilitating the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical training systems, advanced communications equipment, and aviation safety infrastructure. His responsibilities include coordinating solicitation documentation, vendor outreach, and contract administration to ensure alignment with Air Force operational priorities and regulatory compliance under FAR and DFARS. He consistently supports high-priority procurements that enable full-mission simulation, secure radio networks, and field-deployable training platforms essential to pilot and crew readiness. Ramirez maintains active working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors including ARDMORE CONSULTING GROUP, INC, MACHINE TOOL MARKETING INC, GOVAGE, INC., DARK WATERS ENTERPRISING, LLC, and TESTFORCE USA, INC. These vendors are typically niche providers of defense-adjacent training solutions, technical instruction services, and mission-specific equipment. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established small business partners with proven expertise in delivering customized, low-volume, high-complexity systems—often requiring tailored technical validation and field-testing protocols. Ramirez’s contracting activity is fully aligned with a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside policy under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All awarded actions are reserved exclusively for small businesses, with a demonstrated emphasis on firms certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) programs. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation and resilience within the defense small business ecosystem. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), indicating a specialized domain in non-traditional, mission-tailored instruction and simulation-based training. He procures integrated learning systems, immersive training environments, and technical instruction packages designed to replicate real-world airborne operational scenarios, demonstrating deep expertise in defense education technology and performance-based training solutions.
