Joshua D. Acevedo

Josh Acevedo serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA7022 Amic Det 2 Ol Patrick Pka, a specialized unit of the Department of the Air Force focused on advancing advanced sensing, geophysical monitoring, and analytical instrumentation for national defense intelligence. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for high-precision scientific equipment and mission-critical software systems that support signal exploitation and environmental data analysis. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for laboratory-grade analytical devices, geophysical data acquisition platforms, and custom software solutions tailored to classified operational environments, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-specific technical requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Acevedo maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem spanning precision manufacturing firms, analytical instrument developers, and specialized IT services providers. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to deliver integrated systems that meet stringent DoD performance and security standards. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and performance-based contracting to ensure mission continuity and operational readiness. Acevedo demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to foster innovation through socioeconomic programs, consistently prioritizing small businesses capable of delivering niche technical capabilities in instrumentation and data processing. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, his portfolio supports broad small business inclusion across technical domains. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting demand for calibrated, field-deployable sensors and data acquisition hardware. He also frequently procures services under 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for algorithm development and 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for lab infrastructure maintenance, underscoring his expertise in sustaining complex scientific environments critical to Air Force intelligence operations.
