A1C Socrates Rosimo

A1C Socrates Rosimo supports the procurement mission of the FA3016 502 Contracting Clinic under the Department of the Air Force, facilitating acquisitions critical to sustaining Air Force installation readiness. Though holding no formal title, Rosimo plays a pivotal role in executing contract actions for specialized facility, medical, and operational support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven requirements. Their work centers on securing niche goods and services that maintain functional, safe, and technologically viable environments for personnel and equipment, with a strong emphasis on rapid response and mission-critical delivery timelines. Rosimo maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven capability in delivering specialized physical and logistical support services. The working relationship pattern is characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based contract structures, and a focus on vendors with demonstrated reliability in high-tempo operational environments. Rosimo exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation across all eligible categories, fostering resilience and innovation within the contractor base. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of total small business set-asides underscores a culture of inclusive contracting aligned with Air Force sustainability goals. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in niche manufacturing sectors, including NAICS 337214 (office furniture), 316210 (footwear), 332323 (architectural metalwork), 315990 (apparel accessories), and 339920 (sporting goods). These reflect unique demands for custom, non-standardized items—such as specialized gear, facility fixtures, and mission-specific equipment—requiring technical expertise in material specifications, compliance with military standards, and rapid prototyping capabilities. Rosimo’s domain expertise lies in bridging operational needs with specialized manufacturing supply chains.
