OKLAHOMA CITY — The newest Defense Contract Management Agency contract management office, DCMA Aircraft Integrated Maintenance Operations - Oklahoma City, was stood up here during an activation of command ceremony held, June 21, at Tinker Air Force Base. Marie Greening, DCMA chief operations officer, presided over the ceremony.
Rafael Ramirez was appointed as the first acting director.
“I’m honored, humbled, and enthusiastic for this extraordinary opportunity and the confidence and trust placed upon me by my senior leadership,” Ramirez said. “We have two primary responsibilities: contribute our expertise and experience to ensure America's warfighters have the supplies and services they need and ensure the best value to our taxpayers.”
The CMO’s activation is in response to increased contract workload in Oklahoma City and to enhance customer responsiveness by co-locating the CMO with the anticipated arrival of the new Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker AFB.
“Multiple benefits will result from establishing a separate CMO - alignment with the mission of AFSC and the numerous program offices at Tinker; localized control of personnel; face-to-face communication with program managers and contractors; and timely and efficient utilization of resources,” Navy Capt. Eric Holmberg, DCMA AIMO commander, said.
The newly established CMO currently provides contract administration and contractor logistics support services on multiple platforms managed by Tinker AFB - the B-52, B-1 and B-2 bombers; KC-135 and KC-10 transport and aerial refueling platforms; and C-20 airlift for military and government officials.
The CMO also provides support for other DOD entities such as the C-130 prime transport under Warner Robins AFB and the Navy E-6 electronic warfare aircraft modernization programs.
“The new CMO poises DCMA to better serve the many Air Force aircraft sustainment and logistics contracts that DCMA administers,” Holmberg said.
All inaugural members of AIMO Oklahoma City were honored during the ceremony as “Plank Holders.” Their names were inscribed on a wooden plank to commemorate the first members of DCMA’s newest CMO.
