Rivers’ procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic preference programs.

This approach ensures broad vendor participation while maintaining strict adherence to operational urgency and service quality standards required by National Guard readiness objectives. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 711211 (Sports Teams and Clubs), which encompasses event-based hospitality, temporary lodging, and group dining services aligned with military training and ceremonial events.
