Leon C. Archuleta

Leon C. Archuleta serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA9401 377 Msg Pk, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for advanced instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment essential to electronic warfare and sensor modernization efforts. Archuleta ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s strategic goals to sustain and enhance Air Force operational readiness through cutting-edge technology integration. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., many of which specialize in technical support, system integration, and specialized equipment distribution. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade instrumentation and environmental compliance, indicating a focus on reliable, mission-ready suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications. Archuleta’s contracting patterns reveal an equal split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic programs. He actively leverages small business capabilities to foster innovation and resilience in the supply chain, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, suggesting a broad-based emphasis on general small business participation across diverse capabilities. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—despite the agency’s aerospace mission, indicating a specialized need for precision-engineered components, medical-grade instrumentation, or diagnostic equipment adapted for military use, such as field-deployable health monitoring systems or environmental sensors requiring FDA-compliant manufacturing standards. This unique alignment underscores his technical expertise in bridging commercial medical manufacturing with defense application requirements.
