Jose L Arrieta

Jose L. Arrieta serves as a Contract Specialist within the Special Contracting Branch A and B of the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, where he executes complex procurement actions to secure critical logistics, warehousing, and specialized manufacturing services essential to federal operational readiness. His role centers on managing full lifecycle contracts for industrial support capabilities that sustain overseas and contingency operations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical supply chain infrastructure. Arrieta specializes in non-standard, performance-based acquisitions requiring tailored solutions for storage, distribution, and industrial services, often under time-sensitive and high-stakes operational conditions. Arrieta maintains consistent working relationships with a small, focused cohort of contractors, including Communication Logic LLC, LC Industries Inc., and FSR Consulting LLC, all of which provide niche capabilities in logistics support, equipment maintenance, and specialized manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance outcomes over volume, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on technical proficiency and operational alignment with federal readiness objectives. These contractors are selected for their ability to deliver under exigent conditions, often in austere or expeditionary environments. Arrieta’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic focus on competition based on technical merit and operational suitability rather than socioeconomic classifications. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with FAR requirements and prioritizes mission-critical performance above socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 713940—Fitness and Recreational Sports Centers—which, in this context, is applied to the acquisition of specialized physical infrastructure and support services for military and federal training, readiness, and personnel wellness facilities. This unusual but mission-aligned application underscores his expertise in interpreting NAICS codes for non-traditional, capability-based requirements, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in adapting commercial standards to federal operational needs.
