Alfredo Chavez

Alfredo Chavez serves as a key procurement lead within the FA7000 10 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain advanced technical capabilities at the U.S. Air Force Academy and associated training installations. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain cutting-edge aerospace research and cadet training infrastructure by securing precision instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized technical systems. He routinely handles complex solicitations for high-accuracy measuring devices, data acquisition systems, and mission-critical analytical tools, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational readiness standards. Chavez maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including SAWASAWA LLC, BERNARD CAP, LLC, TEAL DRONES INC, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, and LAVISION, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche manufacturers and engineering firms capable of delivering customized, high-precision equipment for scientific and flight training environments. His procurement approach emphasizes technical vetting, performance-based requirements, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative engagements with suppliers who can meet stringent military-grade specifications. He exhibits a strong and consistent 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 cultivate innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, ensuring that qualified firms with specialized technical expertise have equitable access to mission-critical contracts. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting demand for advanced sensor arrays, imaging systems, and real-time data capture tools used in aerospace research and cadet flight simulation. A secondary focus on NAICS 611620 (Sports and Recreation Instruction) supports the acquisition of training aids and simulation platforms for physical and technical readiness programs. His expertise lies at the intersection of scientific instrumentation procurement and defense training system integration.
