Emilio Silva Figueroa

Emilio Silva Figueroa serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the U.S. Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain operational readiness through mission-enabling services. He specializes in securing critical logistical and administrative support functions—including translation and interpretation, facility maintenance, and transportation services—to ensure the welfare and operational continuity of Army personnel both at home stations and in deployed environments. His portfolio is strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain robust force support infrastructure, with a focus on rapid-response, high-reliability contracts that directly impact mission execution. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Emilio consistently engages a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers, to fulfill complex, non-commodity requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, task-order contracts under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality, responsiveness, and compliance with Army standards for hospitality, security, and language services. Emilio demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 20% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small business participation. Although the majority of his awards are open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with Department of Defense goals to promote equitable access and innovation from underserved vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), where he ensures linguistically capable support for multilingual operations, complemented by NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair) and NAICS 485320 (Limousine Service) for facility and personnel mobility needs. This specialized domain expertise enables him to effectively manage technical, high-touch service contracts requiring stringent performance metrics and compliance with military operational standards.
