Anthony V. Sandoval

Anthony V. Sandoval serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical capabilities for Air University and its affiliated installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on modernizing training environments, enhancing command and control audiovisual systems, and supporting educational infrastructure through technical and facility-related procurements. His work directly enables the delivery of immersive simulation technologies and advanced instructional platforms essential to Air Force readiness and professional military education. Sandoval specializes in full lifecycle contracting—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with strategic institutional priorities. Sandoval cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad range of vendors, including manufacturers of specialized audiovisual and simulation equipment, software developers for educational platforms, and fabricators of custom technical components. He engages with both large-scale defense contractors and niche technology providers to ensure access to innovative, mission-tailored solutions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements and open competition, fostering partnerships grounded in technical excellence and reliability rather than exclusive vendor dependencies. Sandoval’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” While he does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, he ensures all solicitations are structured to encourage broad market participation and fair competition among qualified vendors, consistent with agency-wide procurement policies. His primary NAICS focus areas include 511130 (Software Publishers), 519130 (Internet Publishing and Broadcasting), 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing), 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing), and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing). This reflects his expertise in procuring immersive training systems, digital learning platforms, AV infrastructure, and custom-fabricated hardware for simulation environments, positioning him as a key technical procurement specialist within Air Force education and training modernization efforts.
