Mr. Jose A. Farias

Mr. Jose A. Farias serves as a key procurement lead within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility maintenance, medical support systems, and specialized engineering services essential to Air Force installation sustainability. His acquisitions prioritize the modernization of airfield, communications, and environmental control systems, ensuring installations remain safe, functional, and technologically capable. Farias operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis to align procurements with long-term readiness goals. Farias maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors 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 preference for established vendors with proven expertise in facility operations, technical maintenance, and niche industrial services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract execution and deliverables. A strong advocate for small business participation, Farias consistently structures acquisitions under the Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5), with approximately 68.4% of his awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, enabling small firms to contribute meaningfully to national defense infrastructure. His portfolio avoids large-scale unrestricted awards, instead prioritizing opportunities that empower small business innovation and capacity building. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to industrial and commercial HVAC systems (333415), air purification and fan manufacturing (333413), textile and canvas products (314910), and motor vehicle transit systems (485113). These reflect a technical domain expertise in environmental control, facility support equipment, and logistical infrastructure—areas critical to sustaining operational environments across Air Force installations.
