Joshua Waters

Joshua Waters serves as a key procurement lead within the W7MT Uspfo Activity Al Arng, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain Combat Emergency Response Force (CERFP) readiness through strategic acquisition of specialized services and infrastructure. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on facility construction, maintenance, and the procurement of advanced detection and navigation systems critical to expeditionary operations. His work ensures that National Guard and active-duty units receive timely, mission-critical resources aligned with Army modernization priorities, emphasizing rapid deployment capability and operational resilience. Waters maintains consistent contracting relationships with HUMAN DOMAIN SOLUTIONS, LLC and LOMAR SPECIALTY ADVERTISING, INC., both of which provide specialized support in technical services and mission-critical communications infrastructure. His procurement approach reflects a preference for long-term vendor partnerships grounded in proven performance, compliance with military specifications, and adaptability to dynamic operational environments. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on responsive, mission-aligned delivery rather than transactional sourcing. A defining feature of Waters’ contracting portfolio is a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion. All acquisitions are structured to maximize participation by small businesses, with no awards issued under unrestricted or large business competes. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of meeting the unique demands of military readiness in austere environments. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he oversees facility upgrades and readiness infrastructure, and NAICS 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), where he acquires mission-critical equipment for situational awareness and force protection. These domains require deep technical familiarity with military standards, environmental compliance, and integrated system interoperability, reflecting his expertise in bridging construction and advanced instrumentation needs for expeditionary forces.
