Nicholas B. Bastaini serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 109 under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain expeditionary airfield operations and military infrastructure. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on construction, facility modernization, and specialized aviation support systems. Bastaini ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities of enhancing airfield resilience and operational readiness in remote and austere environments. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Bastaini routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering complex infrastructure and technical support services. His procurement patterns reflect collaboration with firms possessing expertise in military-grade construction, aircraft support equipment, and mission-critical facility systems, fostering partnerships that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and readiness to operate in expeditionary conditions. Bastaini demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting approach actively promotes socioeconomic opportunities, consistently favoring small business participation over unrestricted competitions, and aligning with the Department of the Army’s broader goals of inclusive sourcing and workforce development. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), supporting auxiliary military operations, and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting his specialization in facility upgrades and infrastructure sustainment. He also procures specialized equipment under NAICS 334519 and 333923, indicating technical expertise in precision measurement systems and heavy-lift crane infrastructure critical to aviation maintenance and logistics operations.
