Dominic Placido

Dominic Placido serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining air base operational readiness. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services, including construction, HVAC systems, wastewater treatment, and secure communications equipment. His work directly enables the resilience and modernization of air force installations, ensuring compliance with federal standards for facility sustainment and cybersecurity-integrated utilities. Placido handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight and stringent performance metrics, often coordinating with engineering, environmental, and logistics teams to align procurement with strategic infrastructure goals. Placido maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a trusted contractor delivering specialized facility systems and technical support services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, compliance, and performance excellence, particularly in niche domains like energy-efficient building retrofits and secure communications infrastructure. He prioritizes contractors with proven experience in DoD environments and a demonstrated ability to meet rigorous military specifications and environmental regulations. Placido’s contracting portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic diversity and small business empowerment. All awards are reserved for small business concerns, ensuring broad participation from qualified vendors without requiring set-asides for specific categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—though eligible firms within these categories frequently compete and win. His approach reinforces the Air Force’s mandate to foster innovation and capacity building among small business contractors. While NAICS data is not available, Placido’s acquisitions center on facility modernization, utility systems, and secure communications infrastructure—domains requiring expertise in building automation, environmental compliance, and DoD-specific technical standards. He routinely procures integrated systems for energy management, water reclamation, and hardened communications networks, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and regulatory demands of military base sustainment.
