Raul Medina

MSG Raul Medina serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QM MICC-FDO at Fort Hood, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical garrison infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, utilities, communications systems, and mission-critical equipment leasing, ensuring operational readiness across barracks, flight lines, and command facilities. His role involves executing full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with emphasis on performance-based service contracts and long-term maintenance agreements that align with Army installation resilience goals. Medina maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including DTESS JV LLC, TLC SOLUTIONS, INC., GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., STERLING COMPUTERS CORPORATION, and GOVERNMENT ACQUISITIONS INC. These partnerships span facility services, IT infrastructure, and specialized equipment support, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven installation experience and technical compliance capabilities. His contracting approach prioritizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and seamless integration with existing military systems, fostering long-term vendor collaboration over transactional engagements. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to small business participation, with 37.5% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 12.5% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While half of his contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Medina’s primary NAICS focus includes 532490 (commercial and industrial equipment leasing), 611710 (educational support services), and 532412 (construction and mining equipment leasing), indicating a strong emphasis on temporary and specialized equipment procurement, facility training support, and infrastructure maintenance.
