He actively leverages FAR Part 19 programs to ensure broad vendor engagement while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 334511 for aeronautical and navigation systems, and 541611 for management consulting services supporting defense program execution. He also frequently procures computer facilities management (541513) and specialized training services (611430) to sustain workforce readiness. This technical breadth underscores his expertise in acquiring both hardware-intensive systems and the professional services needed to integrate, operate, and sustain them in high-stakes military environments.
