Stephanie A. Tancik

Stephanie A. Tancik serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 facility, where she manages mission-critical procurement activities supporting infrastructure modernization and operational readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of acquisition processes for advanced electronic, communication, and facility systems essential to sustaining Air Force installations. She specializes in complex procurements involving cybersecurity-enabled infrastructure, fire safety modernization, and integrated building systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards. Tancik’s acquisitions directly enable resilient, secure, and technologically advanced environments critical to national defense operations. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced 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 preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade facility upgrades, telecommunications integration, and compliance-heavy construction services. Tancik cultivates collaborative, performance-driven relationships grounded in transparency and regulatory adherence, ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, she consistently allocates 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business engagement without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, favoring instead the flexibility and scalability of general small business set-asides to meet operational needs. Tancik’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated on NAICS Code 517919—Other Telecommunications—which encompasses specialized services related to integrated communication systems, network infrastructure, and secure data transmission for defense facilities. Her technical domain expertise lies in procuring mission-critical telecom solutions that support command and control, emergency response systems, and facility-wide connectivity, ensuring Air Force installations remain interoperable, secure, and operationally resilient.
