AJ Dominguez

Arthur Dominguez serves as a Contracting Noncommissioned Officer at W6QM Micc-JB Lewis-McChord, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness through strategic procurement of facilities, services, and infrastructure support. In this role, he executes full lifecycle contracting actions for mission-critical acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS while aligning procurements with the base’s priorities in environmental compliance, energy efficiency, and facility sustainment. He routinely manages solicitations and awards for construction, maintenance, and operational services, serving as a key liaison between technical requirements offices and vendor communities to deliver timely, compliant, and cost-effective solutions. Dominguez maintains a focused contractor relationship with the Port of Moses Lake as a primary vendor, supplemented by a broad network of small and mid-sized service providers. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, reliable partners with proven capabilities in base support functions, fostering long-term vendor engagement through consistent performance evaluations and contract administration. While he engages with a limited number of high-volume contractors, he ensures competitive sourcing across the vendor base to maintain market health and responsiveness. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on efficiency and scalability. However, he consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising mission needs. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility under general set-aside authorities. Dominguez specializes in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), with significant activity in 811310 (Machinery Repair) and 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing). His technical expertise spans facility maintenance, base operations support, and industrial equipment servicing, ensuring that Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s infrastructure remains functional, safe, and mission-ready.
