Joshua Centilli

Joshua Centilli serves as a key procurement lead within the W7MU Uspfo Activity Ak Arng (W91ZRU), a Department of the Army unit dedicated to sustaining the operational readiness and quality-of-life needs of Army National Guard personnel. Though the organization’s name implies a traditional military installation function, Centilli’s portfolio centers on non-traditional defense acquisitions—primarily administrative services, lodging, educational support, and recreational infrastructure. He manages a diverse range of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often utilizing simplified acquisition procedures for low-risk, high-volume requirements that directly support soldier welfare and unit cohesion. Centilli maintains a consistent working relationship with Arctic Office Machine, Inc., a primary vendor in office equipment and facility support services. His contracting approach favors established small business partners with proven capacity in niche sectors such as modular storage systems, specialized manufacturing, and facility maintenance. He engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and long-term service reliability over one-time procurements. His procurement strategy is heavily skewed toward small business participation, with 70% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses, particularly those without traditional defense contracts. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic emphasis on grassroots vendor development and regional economic impact. Centilli’s primary NAICS focus includes structural steel and precast concrete contracting (238120), manufacturing of aerospace and navigation systems (334511), and showcase and locker manufacturing (326211), alongside tire services and septic system maintenance. These reflect a unique blend of infrastructure, facility modernization, and logistical support needs—not typical of conventional military contracting. His expertise lies in bridging civilian industrial capabilities with Army National Guard operational requirements, ensuring sustainable, mission-aligned procurement across unconventional domains.
