Carmelo P. Nuestro

Carmelo P. Nuestro serves as a Senior Contracting Officer within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 9, where he leads the acquisition of mission-critical professional, scientific, and technical services that support federal operational resilience and digital infrastructure. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and GSA policy. His portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional construction, general warehousing and storage, and computer facilities management services, all aligned with the agency’s mission to enable efficient federal service delivery through strategic sourcing. Mr. Nuestro collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including large prime vendors and specialized small businesses, to deliver integrated solutions in facility operations and IT infrastructure support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for qualified, performance-driven vendors capable of meeting stringent federal standards for security, scalability, and sustainability. He fosters transparent, competitive bidding environments and emphasizes accountability through robust contract management practices. Mr. Nuestro’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside designations. This approach underscores his focus on achieving optimal value through merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences, while still ensuring broad market participation and fair access for all eligible firms. His primary NAICS focus areas—236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services)—demonstrate deep expertise in physical and digital infrastructure support. He routinely procures services related to facility maintenance, logistics operations, data center management, and IT systems integration, ensuring federal facilities remain secure, efficient, and technologically current.
