Antonio G. Heredia

Antonio G. Heredia serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3016 502 Contracting Clinic of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain Air Force installation readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility maintenance, medical equipment, communications infrastructure, and civil engineering services, ensuring that Air Force bases operate within safe, technologically advanced, and fully functional environments. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing airfield systems, medical facilities, and mission-critical utilities through compliant, efficient procurement practices under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Heredia maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Perry Management Corp of South Dakota, L.L.C., William T. Brooks & Associates Inc., Citadel Federal Solutions LLC, NexLegacy LLC, and AJ Commercial Services, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, performance-driven vendors capable of delivering complex maintenance, technical support, and construction-related services across multiple domains. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, past performance, and technical capability, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in clear performance metrics and regulatory adherence. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (75%), Heredia demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses, though he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, favoring broad small business eligibility instead. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes including 324121 (asphalt paving and related materials), 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 339114 (dental equipment), 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing), and 541519 (other computer-related services). This technical diversity reflects his expertise in acquiring both physical infrastructure and specialized technical systems critical to Air Force operational sustainability.
