TSgt Ranie Boukzam

TSgt Ranie Boukzam serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA3022 14th Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisition programs that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Their role centers on executing construction, facility maintenance, and operational support contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure mission-ready facilities and life-safety systems. Boukzam routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 36 for building construction and related services, with a strong emphasis on compliance, resilience upgrades, and technical integration of building systems including HVAC, fire alarm networks, and security infrastructure. Boukzam maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DOMINGUEZ & PERSONS, LLC, WEST BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION INC, and AIR CONTROL ENGINEERING INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, performance-based vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across electrical, mechanical, and security systems. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and technical competency in facility modernization, with a pattern of re-engaging high-performing contractors across multiple contract actions. A defining feature of Boukzam’s procurement strategy is a robust commitment to small business participation, with 81.3% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to maximize opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms in construction and technical services. The contracting pattern demonstrates a strong alignment with socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business inclusion while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The primary technical domains include Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), Electrical Contracting (238210), Security Systems Services (561621), and Audio/Video Equipment Manufacturing (334310). Boukzam’s expertise lies in procuring integrated facility systems—ranging from structural upgrades to digital surveillance and building automation software—ensuring installations meet modern operational, safety, and cybersecurity standards.
