Andrew J Pool

Andrew J. Pool serves as a secondary procurement professional within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, part of the Department of the Army’s Pacific regional operations. He supports the agency’s mission to sustain military readiness through facility maintenance, logistics, and mission-enabling services across critical installations. While not the primary contracting officer, Pool plays a key role in coordinating acquisition planning, evaluating vendor capabilities, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations for high-priority infrastructure and technical support contracts. His work directly enables operational continuity by facilitating timely procurement of security systems, specialized equipment, and environmental services essential to installation resilience. Pool maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering integrated facility support, waste management, security infrastructure, and construction-related services. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, local responsiveness, and proven performance in austere or geographically isolated environments typical of Pacific theater operations. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Pool’s socioeconomic contracting approach, with 80% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, locally owned firms and foster economic resilience within the region. His procurement portfolio consistently prioritizes socioeconomic diversity, with minimal use of open competitions and a clear preference for small business eligibility. His technical focus centers on NAICS 561621 for security systems services, complemented by significant procurement activity in 336413 (aircraft support equipment), 333120 (construction machinery), and 334511 (aeronautical navigation systems). These categories underscore his expertise in acquiring mission-critical hardware and integrated systems that support both installation security and aviation readiness across remote Army installations.
