Nicholas Faillace

Nicholas Faillace serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSO Philadelphia (SP4701), supporting the agency’s mission to modernize defense information systems through specialized IT services and systems integration. Though not a primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, requirements validation, and contract administration for mission-critical technology initiatives. His work centers on enabling cloud-based enterprise platforms, custom software development, and secure communications infrastructure for intelligence, logistics, and command and control environments, ensuring alignment with DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. Faillace collaborates closely with a diverse ecosystem of IT service providers, systems integrators, and technical consultants to fulfill complex operational requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly designated in available records, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering agile software development, cybersecurity hardening, and legacy system modernization. His working relationships are characterized by a preference for performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, emphasizing technical flexibility and rapid prototyping in dynamic defense environments. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong inclination toward small business participation, with 36.4% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through small, dynamic vendors, though no specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant in the data. The majority of awards remain open to all competitors, indicating a balanced approach that prioritizes capability over socioeconomic designation while still actively enabling small business access. Faillace’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), which accounts for over 64% of activity, encompassing custom software, data analytics, and IT infrastructure support. Secondary areas include office equipment leasing and electrical contracting, reflecting the agency’s need for integrated hardware and facility support. His technical domain expertise centers on secure enterprise IT, cloud migration, and mission systems integration, making him a key enabler of the DCSO’s digital transformation objectives.
