Alex Vicente

Alex Vicente serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-JB Lewis-McChord, a Department of the Army installation responsible for sustaining critical military infrastructure at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. In this role, he manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facilities operations, environmental compliance, and base-wide services essential to mission readiness. His work ensures the operational functionality of military installations through strategic contracting for building maintenance, waste management, and specialized equipment procurement, aligning with the Department of Defense’s mandate for resilient, sustainable infrastructure. Vicente maintains a focused procurement relationship with the Port of Moses Lake as the primary contractor, indicating a preference for regional public entities with logistical and operational expertise in supporting military installations. His contracting patterns suggest a reliance on a narrow but highly specialized vendor base, with minimal engagement from other suppliers, pointing to a streamlined, mission-aligned partnership model built on proven performance and local capacity. He demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses across socioeconomic categories, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB firms, fostering economic development within the defense supply chain while ensuring competitive, agile service delivery. His procurement focus centers on three primary NAICS categories: 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings). These reflect deep expertise in environmental services, niche communications hardware, and facility support operations—domains critical to maintaining habitable, secure, and compliant military environments. Vicente’s work bridges operational needs with technical procurement standards, ensuring infrastructure resilience through targeted, compliant acquisitions.
