Tina M. Monteiro de Ramirez

Tina M. de Ramirez serves as a Contract Specialist with the 436th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain air base infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for commercial and institutional building construction services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force facility resilience goals. Her work directly supports the maintenance and modernization of hangars, utilities, security perimeters, and other essential installations that enable aircraft operations and base functionality. De Ramirez specializes in complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical oversight and stringent quality assurance protocols. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of construction vendors, including general contractors, specialty trades, and design-build firms capable of delivering high-integrity facility services under tight operational timelines. She fosters collaborative working relationships with industry partners who demonstrate proven experience in DoD environments, adherence to military construction standards, and robust safety and environmental compliance programs. De Ramirez exhibits a balanced yet deliberate commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This approach ensures competitive pricing while actively promoting economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. Her contracting strategy reflects a deliberate effort to expand the base of qualified small business vendors capable of meeting the technical demands of Air Force infrastructure projects. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, encompassing new construction, renovation, repair, and maintenance of non-residential facilities. She specializes in acquiring services related to structural systems, roofing, HVAC integration, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and security-enhanced construction—domain expertise critical to sustaining the operational integrity of Air Force installations.
