Anthony A. Garcia

Anthony A. Garcia serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8102 Aflcmc Hbk organization under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize air domain capabilities. His portfolio centers on engineering services and operational support systems essential to air superiority, including aeronautical navigation, command and control infrastructure, and tactical detection systems. Garcia is responsible for the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Air Force-specific acquisition policies. He plays a pivotal role in delivering technical solutions that enhance air traffic control resilience and operational readiness across both garrison and deployed environments. Garcia maintains a consistent working relationship with BETTER DIRECT, LLC, a key contractor providing specialized engineering and mission support services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical expertise in air systems integration, while also fostering collaborative partnerships that emphasize performance-based outcomes and agile delivery. He engages with contractors through competitive and negotiated procurements, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with security and interoperability standards. His contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all offerors. This deliberate allocation underscores his dedication to expanding opportunities for small businesses while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business participation across general service categories. Garcia’s primary NAICS focus areas are 541330 (Engineering Services) and 561439 (Other Business Service Centers), reflecting his procurement of advanced technical engineering support alongside administrative and logistics services critical to operational sustainment. He specializes in acquiring systems integration, technical analysis, and mission support services that directly enable the Air Force’s air domain modernization objectives.
