Jose E. Morales-Berrios

Jose E. Morales-Berrios serves as the On-site Shredding Contracting Specialist at W6QM MICC-Fort Leonard Wood, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain installation readiness through secure and compliant facility services. In this role, he manages the acquisition of sensitive document destruction services conducted on military installations, ensuring adherence to National Security Agency and Department of Defense standards for classified material handling. His procurement portfolio centers on secure, compliant, and auditable shredding operations that protect classified information while maintaining operational continuity across training and administrative facilities. Morales-Berrios maintains a focused contractor relationship with HERO ROOFING AND EXTERIORS PLLC, the primary vendor for on-site shredding services, reflecting a streamlined procurement approach centered on trusted, pre-vetted providers with proven security protocols. His working relationships emphasize reliability, regulatory compliance, and service consistency over broad vendor competition, aligning with the high-security environment of Fort Leonard Wood. While the vendor base is limited, the partnership is strategically cultivated to ensure continuous, secure operations without compromising mission-critical timelines. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 67.7% of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small firms in secure services. An additional 3.2% each are designated for Women-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, underscoring a balanced socioeconomic contracting strategy aligned with federal mandates and Army sustainability goals. Morales-Berrios’s primary NAICS focus includes 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 541990 (Other Professional Services), indicating expertise in secure information management and specialized technical support services. While other NAICS codes appear in his portfolio, his core domain is the procurement of physical and procedural security solutions for classified document destruction, requiring deep familiarity with DoD 5220.22-M standards, chain-of-custody protocols, and facility-based security requirements.
