Jesus B. Valdez

Jesus B. Valdez serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical airfield and facility infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and training-related acquisitions aligned with the Air Force’s mission to ensure operational readiness and base-wide functionality. His work focuses on executing contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation to deliver capital improvements, maintenance services, and specialized logistical support essential to sustaining aviation operations. Valdez routinely handles complex, multi-disciplinary procurements requiring coordination across engineering, facilities management, and training domains. Valdez maintains consistent working relationships with AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC, and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, both of which provide specialized construction, geospatial analysis, and facility support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in airfield infrastructure and mission-critical facility enhancements. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based delivery, indicating a reliance on contractors with deep domain knowledge in military installation environments. Valdez’s procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded without set-aside constraints. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation while maintaining flexibility to secure specialized capabilities when needed. His approach supports the Air Force’s broader goals of broadening vendor diversity without compromising mission requirements. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 611512 (Flight Training) and 238330 (Flooring Contractors), reflecting a dual emphasis on aviation training infrastructure and facility integrity. He procures services ranging from flight simulation support and curriculum development to specialized flooring systems for hangars and control towers, demonstrating technical expertise in both educational support systems and high-performance construction materials for military environments.
