Lionel J. Garcia

Lionel J. Garcia serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain Air Force installation readiness. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of service and specialized equipment contracts, with a focus on medical, facility, and operational support requirements. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic priorities such as airfield infrastructure modernization, medical system upgrades, and communications capability enhancements. Garcia routinely handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical evaluation and performance-based acquisition methodologies to support high-stakes operational environments. Garcia maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of established service providers and specialized vendors capable of delivering facility maintenance, medical logistics, and technical support services under performance-based contract structures. His approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance validation, and responsiveness to dynamic operational needs, fostering long-term, results-driven collaborations. While the majority of his acquisitions (73.3%) are conducted without set-asides, Garcia demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 20% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides and 6.7% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy—prioritizing competition while actively enabling small business access to defense-related opportunities under FAR 19.5 and VAOSB provisions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), 336419 (Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts), 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), and 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing). This reflects expertise in procuring both essential garrison support services and highly specialized aerospace and medical hardware, requiring deep technical understanding of defense supply chains and regulatory compliance in sensitive domains.
