Adrian J. Baladad

Adrian Baladad, serving as a Senior Contracting Specialist (SSG) within the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army (W911RX), plays a pivotal role in securing essential facilities and operational support services critical to Army installation readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Baladad specializes in acquiring infrastructure-related services including pest control, landscaping, electrical installation, food service, and digital content solutions. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain secure, functional, and habitable military environments through reliable, mission-critical contracting that ensures base operability and sustainment. Baladad maintains a primary contracting relationship with CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, a key vendor delivering integrated facility support services across multiple Army installations. The working relationship is characterized by long-term performance consistency and reliance on proven service delivery models. While CHENEGA dominates the contractor landscape, Baladad also engages with a small pool of niche providers, indicating a strategic preference for established, high-performing vendors with demonstrated capability in specialized service domains. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Baladad’s procurement patterns, with over half of all acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Women-Owned Small Business set-asides account for a significant portion of remaining awards, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. No set-aside contracts are used judiciously, typically reserved for unique requirements where small business participation is not feasible without compromising mission outcomes. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in five NAICS categories: 561710 (Pest Control), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 561730 (Landscaping), 722310 (Food Service), and 511210 (Software Publishers). This specialization underscores deep technical expertise in facility sustainment services, with a focus on mission-enabling infrastructure and environmental maintenance solutions essential to daily Army operations.
