Carlos Bernal

Carlos Bernal serves in a secondary role within the agency's procurement framework, supporting the acquisition mission through the management of technical and industrial contracts. The agency demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with a significant portion of its procurement activity designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides. While over half of the agency's acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, there is a clear pattern of utilizing socioeconomic preferences to engage small business entities. The agency's procurement focus is heavily weighted toward industrial maintenance and specialized manufacturing. Primary technical domains include commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance, as well as the manufacturing of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Additionally, the agency procures instrument manufacturing for measuring and testing electrical signals, software publishing, and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing.
