Farzad J. Afrasiabi

Farzad Afrasiabi supports the procurement mission of the W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir under the Department of the Army, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining military installation operations. He oversees contracts for facility maintenance, mission-enabling services, and infrastructure support, ensuring compliance with federal standards and operational readiness. His portfolio encompasses a diverse range of services including religious support, janitorial services, HVAC maintenance, landscaping, and specialized equipment repair—services essential to the daily functionality and safety of Army installations. Afrasiabi’s work directly enables the agency’s mandate to maintain compliant, safe, and fully operational military infrastructure through strategic contracting and vendor management. He maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including Discount Tree Service, Inc., Ace Uniform Services, Inc., Quality Biological, Inc., Liberty Communications, Inc., and Special Event Flooring Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, niche vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions in security systems, facility maintenance, and religious support services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical precision, and service continuity, often renewing engagements with vendors who demonstrate proven performance and compliance with military facility standards. Afrasiabi’s contracting patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 80% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively participates in socioeconomic programs, with 20% of awards allocated under 8(a) competed set-asides, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business development. His approach balances efficiency with inclusion, ensuring qualified small businesses have access to opportunities without compromising mission-critical service delivery. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333923 (crane and hoist systems), 561621 (security systems services), 541690 (technical consulting), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), and 813110 (religious organizations). This reflects deep expertise in technical infrastructure support, safety compliance, and mission-specific services that sustain Army garrison operations, requiring nuanced understanding of both federal procurement regulations and operational military requirements.
