Benjamin Bitonel

Benjamin Bitonel serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC FDO Ft Bragg, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain operational readiness at one of the nation’s largest military installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions focused on garrison infrastructure, security systems, and quality-of-life support for active-duty personnel. His work ensures the continuous functionality of critical facilities through timely, compliant contracting actions aligned with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. Bitonel specializes in complex service contracts requiring technical oversight, performance-based management, and stringent compliance with installation-specific operational requirements. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including SILVER NATIONAL CORP., A TO B CREATIONS INC, and TACTICAL ELECTRONICS AND MILITARY SUPPLY L.L.C., who deliver specialized security, facility maintenance, and military-grade equipment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military installation environments and demonstrated capacity to meet stringent security and logistics standards. Bitonel’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and adherence to performance metrics, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and mission alignment. Bitonel demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 25% competitively awarded to 8(a) participants. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged firms capable of delivering mission-critical services. His contracting decisions consistently prioritize socioeconomic goals without compromising operational needs, reinforcing the Army’s broader objectives for inclusive economic growth and contractor diversity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), where he acquires integrated surveillance, access control, and physical security systems essential to base integrity. A secondary but notable focus on NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations) reflects support for morale, welfare, and chaplaincy services. Bitonel’s technical expertise centers on secure infrastructure, force protection systems, and installation sustainment services, positioning him as a specialist in mission-enabling procurement within the garrison support domain.
