Jose A Farias

Jose C. Farias serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where he executes mission-critical acquisitions to sustain installation infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility maintenance, medical services, and communications systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with Air Force strategic priorities. His work directly supports the modernization of airfield, medical, and utility systems critical to base functionality and personnel safety, with a focus on timely, compliant, and cost-effective contracting solutions. Farias maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C., and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in construction, facility services, and specialized technical support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering stable, results-driven collaborations that align with mission timelines and operational demands. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as no set-aside procurements (66.7%), Farias actively promotes small business participation through targeted set-asides, including Total Small Business (16.7%), HUBZone (8.3%), and 8(a) competed awards (8.3%). This balanced approach ensures competitive opportunity while maintaining the technical rigor required for mission-critical services, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising operational effectiveness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220), commercial construction (236220), ambulance services (621910), and communications equipment manufacturing (334290). This technical breadth underscores his expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary contracts that integrate infrastructure, medical logistics, and communications systems essential to Air Force installation resilience.
