Stephanie A. Tancik serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements to modernize infrastructure and enhance operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on acquiring security systems, facility upgrades, and integrated communication technologies essential to sustaining defense installations. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Air Force-specific acquisition policies while aligning purchases with strategic modernization goals for fire safety, electronic systems, and resilient facility environments. Tancik maintains consistent working 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 balanced mix of specialized service providers and construction firms capable of delivering complex, technically demanding solutions across facility modernization and cybersecurity-enabled infrastructure projects. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear requirements and rigorous oversight. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 50% of awards issued without set-asides, 37.5% under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), and 12.5% reserved exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining competitive rigor and mission alignment. She actively leverages socioeconomic programs to support qualified small businesses without compromising acquisition efficiency or operational readiness. Tancik’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), followed by 423220 (Home Furnishing Merchant Wholesalers) and 423430 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers), indicating a unique blend of facility support, IT hardware, and physical security integration. Her expertise spans procurement of access control systems, fire safety infrastructure, and networked electronic components critical to secure, mission-ready Air Force installations.
