Armando Dominguez

Armando Dominguez serves as a procurement specialist within the 0410 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the logistical sustainment of expeditionary and garrisoned military operations. His responsibilities center on acquiring non-combat essential services and manufactured goods critical to personnel readiness, including lodging, sanitation, food service supplies, and facility support infrastructure. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. His work directly enables operational continuity by securing everyday necessities that maintain quality of life for deployed and rotational forces. Dominguez engages with a diverse base of manufacturers and suppliers, primarily focused on niche industrial producers rather than large-scale defense contractors. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with small- to mid-sized manufacturing firms capable of delivering specialized, high-volume goods under strict military specifications. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct commercial item acquisitions, often utilizing FAR Part 13 simplified procedures to expedite delivery of essential consumables and maintenance supplies. Dominguez’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on speed, scalability, and standardized compliance over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing reliable supply chain performance and consistent product quality over certification-based preferences. His primary procurement focus lies in three NAICS categories: 314120 (Curtain and Linen Mills), 325611 (Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing), and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing). These reflect a specialized domain expertise in procuring institutional-grade textiles, hygiene products, and custom-fabricated support equipment—goods critical to field sanitation, billeting, and base operations. His technical knowledge spans material specifications, military standards (MIL-SPEC), and supply chain resilience for austere environments.
