Eric J Hurtado

Eric J. Hurtado serves as a Contracting Apprentice within the FA4659 319 Cons Pk agency under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the procurement of critical infrastructure services essential to installation readiness. In this developmental role, he assists in the full lifecycle management of construction and facility support contracts, gaining hands-on experience in solicitation drafting, source selection, and contract administration. His work directly contributes to sustaining airfield systems, utility networks, barracks, and administrative facilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational standards. He primarily handles task orders and basic ordering agreements under construction, maintenance, and facility modernization categories. Hurtado collaborates closely with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC and MACK GLOBAL LLC, both of which provide specialized construction and facility support services. His emerging procurement patterns reflect a focus on long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and technical compliance. He supports contract execution for complex, multi-disciplinary projects requiring coordination across civil engineering, utility systems, and building maintenance disciplines, fostering relationships with contractors who demonstrate proven capability in Air Force-specific infrastructure environments. His procurement approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly equal portions of acquisitions set aside for small businesses and issued as no-set-aside actions, alongside a notable 16.7% allocation to HUBZone firms. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent mission needs. He actively supports the agency’s goal of broadening the vendor base through targeted set-asides under FAR 19.5, particularly favoring small business participation without compromising operational urgency. Hurtado’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237130 (power and communication line construction), 238330 (flooring contractors), and 337211 (wood office furniture manufacturing), indicating a strong alignment with facility upgrades, interior fit-outs, and utility infrastructure. He also engages with 332321 (metal window and door manufacturing) and 811310 (commercial machinery repair), reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to sustaining Air Force installations. His growing expertise spans both physical construction and operational maintenance domains, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-ready facilities.
