Suzanna P. Bannies

Suzanna P. Bannies serves as a Contract Administrator for the Department of the Air Force under FA4484 87 Cons Pk, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for construction, facility modernization, and technical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s priorities in maintaining high-readiness environments through timely and compliant acquisition of essential maintenance and engineering services. Bannies maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven track records in military construction, HVAC systems, electrical upgrades, and facility sustainment. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, safety compliance, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear contract deliverables and rigorous oversight. A defining feature of Bannies’ contracting portfolio is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to small business participation. All acquisitions under her purview are structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to defense contracting and supporting socioeconomic goals through inclusive sourcing practices. Despite the agency’s focus on infrastructure, Bannies’ procurement activity is uniquely classified under NAICS 339114—Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing. This suggests a specialized, possibly misclassified or highly niche, procurement stream requiring precise technical understanding of medical-grade equipment procurement within a military context. Her expertise lies in aligning complex acquisition requirements with regulatory compliance, even in non-traditional domains, demonstrating adaptability and precision in federal contracting.
