Alphonso Barnes Jr

Alphonso Barnes Jr. serves as a Contract Specialist at W6QM Micc-ft Leavenworth under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize military installation infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and technical support contracts aligned with garrison readiness objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army facility standards. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and infrastructure resilience through the acquisition of specialty trade services essential to operational continuity across Army installations. Barnes maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including PRAIRIE BAND CONSTRUCTION, INC., PREMIER MECHANICAL PRODUCTS LLC, SES TECHNOLOGIES LLC, AMERICAN BOILER SERVICES INC, and ACI BUILD GROUP LLC. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with established specialty trade firms experienced in facility systems integration, mechanical services, and structural upgrades. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear scope definition, and rigorous contractor performance evaluation to ensure quality and timeliness in mission-critical infrastructure projects. He demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a deliberate preference for small business set-asides: 40% of his acquisitions are reserved for total small businesses, while 20% each are allocated to women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access to federal opportunities and strengthen the small business ecosystem supporting Army infrastructure missions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238110 (poured concrete foundation and structure contractors), 238160 (roofing contractors), 238320 (painting and wall covering contractors), and 238990 (all other specialty trade contractors). These categories underscore his technical expertise in building envelope systems, structural rehabilitation, and facility finishing trades—domains critical to maintaining safe, code-compliant, and mission-ready garrison facilities across the Army’s installation network.
