Janella Rivas

Janella Rivas supports the procurement mission of the FA4427 60 Cons Lgc, a specialized unit within the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining operational readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical medical, technical, and demonstration equipment. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on electromedical instruments, surgical supply chains, analytical laboratory systems, and support infrastructure for aerial demonstration programs and base-level training initiatives. Her work ensures that Air Force medical and public engagement units are equipped with reliable, high-performance systems aligned with DoD standards and readiness requirements. Rivas maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CW3RET ENTERPRISE LLC and CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES RESOURCES, INC., partnering with vendors capable of delivering specialized technical solutions and facility-integrated services. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and timely delivery of complex equipment packages, often requiring coordination across multiple logistics and maintenance channels. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with proven expertise in niche aerospace and medical support domains. A strong advocate for small business participation, Rivas consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately 58% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Air Force mandates to foster a diverse and resilient supplier base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238330 (flooring), 541511 (custom computer programming), 238210 (electrical installation), 812332 (industrial laundering), and 561730 (landscaping), indicating a broad scope that integrates facility modernization, IT support, and environmental services into mission-critical operations. This interdisciplinary approach underscores her expertise in managing non-traditional defense procurements that support both medical readiness and public-facing demonstration programs.
