Tiana Ware

Tiana Ware serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force facility FA2860 316 Cons Pk at Joint Base Andrews, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining operational infrastructure and mission readiness. Her responsibilities center on securing integrated security systems, communications hardware, and facility maintenance services that directly support command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities for air operations. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from solicitation to award and administration—ensuring alignment with DoD standards and mission-critical timelines. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes technical solutions that enhance physical security, audiovisual integration, and radio broadcasting infrastructure essential to base operations. Ware maintains established working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., each providing specialized environmental, material, and chemical services vital to facility sustainment. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in hazardous material handling, site remediation, and infrastructure-compatible chemical applications. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and long-term vendor performance, fostering stable, performance-driven relationships rather than transactional engagements. A defining feature of Ware’s contracting strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and workforce development, with all awards directed to small businesses regardless of specific designation, thereby maximizing participation across the small business ecosystem. Her procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 336211—Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing—indicating a specialized need for custom vehicle modifications, armored transport units, or specialized chassis integrations supporting security and mobility operations. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with military vehicle standards, ballistic protection specifications, and modular retrofitting, positioning Ware as a subject matter expert in defense-related vehicle systems procurement.
