MSgt Benjamin Nieto

Benjamin C. Nieto serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to sustain critical military infrastructure and advanced aerospace systems. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. He primarily manages construction, facility modernization, and specialized technical service contracts, supporting the resilience and operational continuity of Air Force installations through timely and compliant contracting actions. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Nieto routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including general contractors, prefabricated metal building manufacturers, and technical service providers specializing in industrial machinery maintenance and facility systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, competitive bidding, and strict adherence to FAR guidelines, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships across the defense industrial base. Nieto’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 95.5% of acquisitions issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on maximizing value and capability through broad market access. The remaining 4.5% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include 238190 (other foundation and building exterior contractors), 332311 (prefabricated metal building manufacturing), and 711219 (other spectator sports)—the latter likely reflecting niche facility uses such as recreation or training infrastructure. He also procures commercial and industrial machinery repair services (811310) and management consulting (541618) to support facility sustainment and operational planning, showcasing expertise in integrating diverse technical domains to meet Air Force infrastructure modernization goals.
