Noel Perez

Noel Perez serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of mission-critical support services and specialized equipment essential to elite special operations forces. His work directly enables doctrinal readiness through the procurement of professional development training, tactical instructional programs, and niche operational support systems. He handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with a focus on performance-based acquisitions that align with USASOC’s emphasis on leadership enhancement, technical proficiency, and force multiplier capabilities. His role ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while maintaining agility to respond to dynamic operational requirements. Perez maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SOF LANDING LLC, TERRESTRIS, LLC, and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED, INC., each of which provides specialized services in tactical training, operational logistics, and human performance optimization. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in past performance, technical expertise, and responsiveness to classified and sensitive operational environments. He routinely engages these firms in task order competitions under IDIQ vehicles and single-source justifications where unique capabilities are required. Perez demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring robust small business participation across the contracting spectrum. He actively promotes opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, aligning with USASOC’s broader goals of innovation and resilience through diversified supplier networks. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332994 for small arms and ordnance accessories, 541720 for social science and humanities research supporting doctrinal development, 611692 for specialized driving and mobility training, and 311611 for animal-based logistics support in field environments. This unique blend underscores his expertise in procuring both conventional defense materiel and highly specialized human performance and operational readiness services tailored to unconventional warfare requirements.
