Albin Y Gonzalez

Albin Y Gonzalez serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N2 USPFO Activity TX ARNG, a Department of Defense unit under the Army National Guard responsible for sustaining the readiness of Texas Army National Guard personnel. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for critical civilian support services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-aligned resource allocation. His portfolio primarily encompasses non-tactical, sustainment-focused contracts that enable medical, dental, reintegration, and infrastructure support functions essential to force readiness. He works closely with program managers and logistics teams to translate operational requirements into solicitation packages, evaluate proposals, and administer awarded contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Mr. Gonzalez maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of small business vendors, including Pika International, Inc., Tesfaye LLC, Bonus Environmental LLC, and The Sunrise Tortilla Inc. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with niche providers delivering specialized services such as facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and personnel support solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and clear deliverable alignment with the Guard’s sustainment objectives. A defining feature of Mr. Gonzalez’s contracting profile is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic programs. All his acquisitions are structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, with no large business awards issued under his purview. This reflects a deliberate strategy to strengthen local and regional small business capacity while fulfilling mission-critical needs. His procurement focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 323117—Books Printing—indicating specialized demand for printed materials such as training manuals, medical record documentation, reintegration guides, and administrative publications essential to Guard operations. This specialization underscores his technical expertise in procuring low-volume, high-compliance printed products, often requiring secure handling, customization, and rapid turnaround to support field-unit readiness.
