Armando J. Torres

Armando J. Torres serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0414 AQ HQ Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to sustaining U.S. Army garrison infrastructure. His role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of facility maintenance, engineering support, and specialized technical services that uphold the safety and functionality of military installations, including firing ranges and critical utilities. Torres executes full lifecycle contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LINEA VERDE S.R.L., FIORINI IMPIANTI GROUP SRL, and NUOVA ELETTRICA S.R.L., all of which provide specialized engineering, electrical, and infrastructure support services. These vendor partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements rooted in technical expertise and proven performance in complex, mission-critical environments. Torres prioritizes reliability and technical proficiency in contractor selection, fostering long-term collaborations that align with the Army’s sustainment objectives. Torres’ procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for selecting vendors based on technical capability and past performance, without formal preference for small business or disadvantaged business categories under current acquisition strategies. His primary NAICS focus is 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad range of specialized support including facility inspections, infrastructure assessments, technical consulting, and maintenance system integration. He consistently procures services requiring niche expertise in military-grade construction support, environmental compliance, and facility modernization, reflecting deep domain knowledge in Army garrison sustainment operations.
