Mike Medrano

Mike Medrano serves as a Small Business Specialist at W6QM Micc-ft Bliss under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing socioeconomic contracting goals and ensuring robust small business participation across installation support acquisitions. He supports the agency’s mission to sustain critical military infrastructure by facilitating procurements in construction, facility services, and logistics support. Medrano specializes in structuring and administering small business set-asides under FAR Part 19, advising contracting teams on eligibility, certification verification, and compliance to maximize opportunities for qualified vendors while maintaining competitive integrity in the acquisition process. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced specialty contractors, including Federal Roofing and Construction Company LLC, All American AA LLC, C. Ortiz, Corp, Globe Builders, Inc., and Pioneer Roofing and Construction LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-performing, niche-capable firms with demonstrated expertise in roofing, utility systems, and specialty trade contracting. Medrano fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with federal procurement standards, ensuring continuity in mission-critical infrastructure maintenance. His procurement strategy prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides at 41.7%, reflecting a strong commitment to veteran-owned enterprise development. He also actively utilizes HUBZone and total small business set-asides, balancing socioeconomic objectives with operational needs. While approximately one-third of his acquisitions are open to all competitors, his consistent emphasis on socioeconomic programs underscores a deliberate effort to broaden contractor diversity and enhance resilience within the small business supply base. Medrano’s technical focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), aligning with Fort Bliss’s infrastructure sustainment priorities. He regularly procures roofing systems, utility upgrades, septic services, and related specialty trades, demonstrating deep familiarity with construction lifecycle management and facility readiness standards critical to military operational continuity.
