Nelson Escribano

Nelson Escribano serves as a Small Business Specialist within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing small business participation across mission-critical acquisitions. He supports the agency’s broader procurement mission by ensuring compliance with FAR Part 19 policies, facilitating outreach to eligible small businesses, and advising contracting teams on optimal set-aside strategies for services supporting personnel readiness, communications infrastructure, and base sustainment. His work directly enables the integration of small business capabilities into high-priority contracts involving IT systems, professional services, and operational support. Escribano maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including SUPPLYCORE LLC, CYBERPROTEX, LLC, and AADS OFFICE SOLUTIONS INT'L LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering specialized support services, cybersecurity solutions, and administrative infrastructure. His engagement with these firms is characterized by proactive collaboration, early market research, and tailored solicitation design to encourage competitive small business participation while meeting operational demands. His procurement patterns reveal a strong emphasis on socioeconomic contracting, with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides accounting for 25% of awards and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 comprising 21.4%. While over half of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, Escribano actively champions targeted set-asides to maximize opportunities for qualified small and veteran-owned businesses aligned with Air Force readiness goals. His primary NAICS focus lies in All Other Support Services (561990) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), indicating deep expertise in procuring administrative, logistical, and technical support services. He also regularly engages vendors in other general government support (921190) and advertising-related services (541890), reflecting a broad but mission-aligned portfolio centered on sustaining Air Force operations through agile, small business-driven solutions.
