Jose A. Pacheco

Jose A. Pacheco supports the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890) in executing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and technical services essential to pilot readiness and tactical communications. His work directly enables the Department of the Air Force’s operational readiness goals by ensuring timely acquisition of integrated solutions that enhance surveillance, training fidelity, and mission-critical system interoperability. Pacheco maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, reflecting a preference for joint ventures and specialized service providers with domain expertise in flight training, maintenance integration, and defense-specific technical support. His procurement patterns emphasize performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships that align with operational tempo and readiness requirements, often involving complex service delivery models requiring rigorous oversight and systems integration. While the majority of his acquisitions (75%) are conducted without set-asides, Pacheco demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes competition while actively fostering opportunities for small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical and training services within the defense ecosystem. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (management consulting services), 611512 (flight training), and 611699 (miscellaneous instruction), alongside niche areas such as drycleaning and laundry services and motor vehicle transmission parts manufacturing—each serving unique logistical or infrastructure support roles. This diverse technical portfolio underscores his expertise in procuring both high-end operational systems and essential sustainment services critical to maintaining combat-ready Air Force units.
