Augustine Perez

Augustine Perez serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the FA5205 35 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, contributing to the agency’s mission of sustaining airfield and base infrastructure through strategic acquisition of mission-critical systems. While not the lead contracting officer, Perez plays a vital role in coordinating solicitation development, vendor outreach, and contract administration for communications, logistics, and facility sustainment initiatives. Their work supports the procurement of advanced radio and wireless systems, auxiliary aircraft components, and specialized maintenance services essential to operational readiness across domestic and deployed installations. Perez maintains a consistent working relationship with LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a key vendor engaged across multiple contract actions. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in niche technical domains, suggesting a focus on reliability and compliance over rapid vendor turnover. Interactions with vendors are characterized by structured evaluation processes and alignment with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements for technical performance and delivery timelines. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Perez consistently allocates 8.3% of opportunities each to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation and regional economic engagement without compromising mission-critical procurement flexibility. The procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS codes 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), 337215 (Showcase, Partition, Shelving, and Locker Manufacturing), and 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), reflecting an unusual but deliberate blend of aerospace components, facility furnishings, and specialized support services. This suggests expertise in procuring both hard-engineered hardware and niche non-traditional services, including technical documentation, training materials, and mission-specific creative support essential to Air Force operations.
