Chief Diaz

Chief Diaz serves as the Contracting Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge, providing critical procurement leadership within the agency’s acquisition framework. In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, award, and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. His primary focus is on operational support contracts, particularly those delivering essential security and telecommunications services. Chief Diaz works closely with program managers and logistics teams to translate mission needs into enforceable, performance-based requirements, ensuring timely and lawful execution of acquisitions that sustain critical government operations. Chief Diaz maintains a streamlined contracting environment characterized by consistent engagement with a stable base of qualified vendors specializing in security services and satellite telecommunications. He fosters professional, transparent relationships with contractors who demonstrate reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance excellence. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely works with firms possessing relevant credentials such as FISMA, ISO 27001, and SIOP certifications to ensure the integrity and security of contracted services. His approach emphasizes accountability, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor performance tracking. Chief Diaz’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition and value rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, he remains committed to fair and equitable access for all qualified offerors, ensuring that selection is driven solely by technical merit and cost-effectiveness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly 98% of his activity, encompassing armed and unarmed security personnel, facility protection, and access control services. The remaining 2.4% involves NAICS 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), supporting secure, resilient communications infrastructure. Chief Diaz brings deep expertise in performance-based service contracting and risk-managed acquisition strategies within high-sensitivity operational environments.
