Jose E. Hernandez-Ramos

Jose E. Hernandez-Ramos serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-critical support systems. He oversees a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility resilience, preventive maintenance of industrial equipment, and rapid-deployment construction services essential to aerospace operational readiness. His work ensures the continuity of mission-enabling services at remote and forward-operating locations, aligning procurement actions with the Air Force’s strategic priorities in infrastructure modernization and force projection. Hernandez-Ramos maintains a primary contracting relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a trusted vendor providing specialized medical and operational support equipment. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers capable of delivering mission-critical hardware and maintenance services under austere conditions. He routinely engages contractors with proven expertise in field-deployable systems, industrial repair, and construction material logistics, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and technical compliance. His contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with 60% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense supply chain. An additional 5% of awards are designated for HUBZone firms, reflecting targeted support for economically disadvantaged communities. While most acquisitions are small business set-asides, he also executes open competitions when specialized capabilities require broader market engagement. Hernandez-Ramos’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811310 (industrial machinery repair), 237130 (power and communication line construction), 423450 (medical and hospital equipment wholesale), and 423390 (other construction materials). His technical domain expertise spans field-deployable medical systems, airfield utility infrastructure, and industrial maintenance services critical to sustaining expeditionary operations. He consistently sources mission-ready equipment and services from vendors with proven capabilities in ruggedized, rapid-response environments.
