Larenz Hernandez

Larenz Hernandez supports the procurement mission of the FA3030 17 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing installation infrastructure. Responsible for planning and executing contracts that ensure operational readiness, Hernandez specializes in facility maintenance and repair services, with a focus on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Their work directly enables mission-critical facility resilience by securing qualified vendors for complex, high-reliability repairs and upgrades across Air Force bases, aligning acquisitions with DoD standards for lifecycle management and infrastructure modernization. Hernandez maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, IMPERIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC, and DUNCAN MECHANICAL SERVICE, INC., reflecting a preference for experienced, niche-capable firms with proven expertise in military facility environments. These relationships are built on repeat engagements for specialized services such as industrial equipment maintenance, fluid power system repairs, and integrated facility upgrades, indicating a strategic reliance on vendors with deep technical knowledge and prior installation familiarity. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Hernandez’s contracting approach, with 90.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity within the defense industrial base, prioritizing small, locally rooted firms capable of delivering timely, compliant services under stringent Air Force standards. Socioeconomic contracting is not an afterthought but a core operational principle. The primary technical focus centers on NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, followed by 332999 for fabricated metal products and 333996 for fluid power systems. Hernandez routinely procures specialized maintenance services for mission-critical building systems, security infrastructure, and mechanical components essential to installation functionality, demonstrating deep domain expertise in facility systems lifecycle management and industrial maintenance procurement.
