Merced R. Doria serves as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Air Force’s FA3016 502 Contracting Clinic, where they play a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain Air Force installation readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, Doria specializes in securing specialized maintenance, medical, and facility services essential to operational infrastructure.

Doria’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing medical systems and maintaining airfield and facility integrity. Doria maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of vendors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining established service providers with agile small business contractors capable of delivering specialized maintenance, logistics, and facility support. The working relationships are characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based contract structures, and a focus on mission-aligned delivery capabilities. Doria demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of their awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5.

Their contracting practices align with Air Force goals to expand small business participation without compromising mission requirements. Their procurement focus centers on NAICS codes including 334510 for electromedical apparatus, 337127 for institutional furniture, 423120 for motor vehicle parts distribution, 424920 for periodical wholesale distribution, and 561730 for landscaping services. This diverse technical scope underscores expertise in both healthcare infrastructure and facility sustainment, requiring nuanced understanding of federal acquisition regulations and industry-specific compliance standards.
