SSG Kala Roman

SSG Kala Roman serves as a key procurement professional within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office under the Department of the Army, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Army installations across Europe and other deployed theaters. Responsible for managing complex acquisition cycles for facility maintenance, infrastructure resilience, and specialized equipment servicing, Roman ensures that critical garrison assets—including airfields, utilities, and logistics infrastructure—remain mission-ready. Their procurement portfolio centers on high-reliability construction services and industrial-grade equipment, aligning with the Army’s strategic imperative to sustain forward-deployed operations through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting. Roman maintains established relationships with primary contractors PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHOUDAPPARATEN B.V., reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated capability in military-grade facility support and heavy-duty appliance systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance-based contracts, with an emphasis on technical compliance, lifecycle support, and rapid response capabilities in austere environments. The contracting approach prioritizes reliability and operational continuity over transactional procurement, fostering collaborative vendor engagement grounded in past performance and quality assurance metrics. Roman’s acquisition strategy reflects a non-set-aside orientation, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the procurement process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition regulations, ensuring fair access for all qualified vendors. The primary NAICS focus areas are 336112 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 423120 (Motor Vehicle Supplies and New Parts Merchant Wholesalers), underscoring expertise in procuring aviation-related components and heavy-duty vehicle maintenance systems essential to military mobility and sustainment. Roman’s technical domain spans aerospace-grade hardware, field-deployable infrastructure, and mission-critical spare parts, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense logistics and industrial supply chains.
