Tamia Whiters

Tamia Whiters serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2816 Smc Pk Pko unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the readiness and quality of life for Air Force personnel and their families through strategic acquisition of essential services and infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on human-centered programs, including temporary sheltering, facility maintenance, professional training, and facility support services. Her role is central to ensuring operational resilience by securing timely, compliant, and mission-aligned resources that sustain morale, wellness, and administrative efficiency across installations. Whiters collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers, to deliver mission-critical support functions. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering scalable, on-site services such as janitorial operations, temporary housing solutions, and workforce development training. Her working relationships emphasize responsiveness, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and performance-based outcomes tailored to military community needs. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses. The remaining half are awarded without set-aside, allowing flexibility for specialized or large-scale requirements. This balanced approach ensures both competitive market engagement and robust participation from disadvantaged and underserved business communities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 624221 (Temporary Shelters), 561720 (Janitorial Services), 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), and 811219 (Other Personal Services). These categories underscore her expertise in life support, facility operations, and human capital development. Whiters brings deep domain knowledge in acquiring services that directly enhance the daily living conditions and professional growth of Air Force personnel, aligning acquisition outcomes with the agency’s mission of operational resilience and family readiness.
