Joshua Centilli

Joshua Centilli serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3099 47 Conf Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining airfield and facility infrastructure critical to operational readiness. He manages a portfolio of construction and logistical support contracts designed to maintain mission-critical aviation infrastructure, including airfield surfaces, hangars, and utility systems. His acquisitions focus on capital improvements, maintenance services, and specialized engineering solutions that ensure base-wide functionality and resilience. Centilli operates within the Federal Acquisition Regulation framework, ensuring compliance with defense-specific procurement protocols while aligning contracts with the Air Force’s long-term infrastructure modernization goals. Centilli maintains consistent working relationships with AR6 Construction & Engineering, LLC, and Horsepower Geospatial LLC, both of which provide specialized construction, geospatial analysis, and infrastructure support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing proven expertise in military-grade construction and site-specific engineering. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on technical proficiency, safety compliance, and rapid response capabilities essential to mission continuity. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over half of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly one-third designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while leveraging the agility and niche capabilities of small firms. He consistently applies socioeconomic set-asides to foster competition and enhance contractor diversity. Centilli’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting his emphasis on airfield pavement and drainage systems. He also procures commercial and institutional building construction (236220) and specialized equipment manufacturing (334118, 332216), demonstrating technical expertise in both civil infrastructure and mission-support hardware. His domain knowledge spans geospatial surveying, structural integrity, and aviation-specific construction standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet Air Force operational and safety requirements.
