Amn Richard Jimenez

Amn Richard Jimenez serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4887 56th Contracting Squadron, part of the Department of the Air Force, where he supports the sustainment of critical airfield infrastructure and mission-critical installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on industrial maintenance, facility operations, and specialized equipment services essential to Air Force readiness. His work encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational urgency. Jimenez routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts for technical services and manufactured goods that directly support aviation and installation sustainment missions. Jimenez maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ARKOSE GROUP LLC, SILVER NATIONAL CORP., BLAZING AVIATION LLC, and MACH 2 PRODUCTIONS INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in niche manufacturing, aviation support, and facility systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships that prioritize quality, timeliness, and mission alignment over transactional procurement. A defining feature of Jimenez’s portfolio is an overwhelming commitment to small business participation, with 91.7% of his acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages the full spectrum of socioeconomic programs, ensuring equitable access for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to build capacity within the small business industrial base while meeting mission-critical needs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 326211 (tire manufacturing), 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), 339950 (sign manufacturing), 339920 (sporting and athletic goods), and 337127 (institutional furniture). These reflect a unique blend of industrial, logistical, and facility support requirements—ranging from specialized aviation ground equipment to durable institutional furnishings for maintenance facilities and operational spaces. His expertise lies in bridging technical specifications with practical field needs across Air Force installations.
