Tina Hamalak

Tina Hamalak serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA7000 10 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain aerospace research, cadet training, and facility modernization at the U.S. Air Force Academy. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for precision instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized technical systems, ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. Her portfolio emphasizes high-accuracy measuring devices, environmental control systems, and advanced communications hardware essential for scientific and technical training environments. Hamalak maintains consistent procurement relationships with a focused group of specialized vendors, including SAWASAWA LLC, BERNARD CAP, LLC, TEAL DRONES INC, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, and LAVISION, INC. These contractors provide niche capabilities in analytical instrumentation, unmanned aerial systems, structural metal fabrication, and environmental monitoring equipment. Her working pattern reflects a preference for established technical partners with proven expertise in defense-grade hardware and validated quality control protocols, fostering reliable delivery of mission-essential systems. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (66.7%), she demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and compliance, ensuring equitable access for qualified vendors without favoring specific socioeconomic categories. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Institutional Furniture Manufacturing (337127), Air-Conditioning and Heating Equipment Manufacturing (333415), and Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334290), reflecting a technical domain centered on laboratory infrastructure, climate-controlled training environments, and secure data acquisition systems. She brings specialized expertise in procuring engineered solutions that meet stringent military standards for durability, precision, and interoperability.
