Anthony Sandoval

Anthony Sandoval serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting Air University’s mission to modernize military education and training infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of procurements for technical, educational, and facility-related services, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. His portfolio includes complex acquisitions for custom software development, professional training programs, and specialized infrastructure equipment, often requiring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and integration with legacy military systems. Sandoval plays a critical role in translating operational needs into enforceable contract requirements that support immersive learning environments and command communication systems. Sandoval cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including IT service providers, training consultants, and manufacturers of educational and tactical equipment. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he routinely engages both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to deliver integrated solutions. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet rigorous military standards for quality and timeliness. Sandoval demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes opportunities for small businesses across multiple categories, though no specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are statistically dominant. His approach reflects a balanced strategy to foster competition while expanding access for small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical and educational services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (custom computer programming), 611430 (professional and management development training), 337215 (showcase and locker manufacturing), and 562991 (septic tank and related services). This unique combination reflects the agency’s dual emphasis on digital training platforms and physical infrastructure support. Sandoval’s expertise spans both high-tech software integration and facility maintenance contracting, making him a key enabler of Air University’s hybrid modernization initiatives.
