Noel PerezQuinones

Noel PerezQuinones serves as a Contracting Specialist within the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that support the readiness and operational effectiveness of elite special operations forces. His portfolio centers on professional and management development training, educational support services, and specialized instructional programs designed to enhance tactical proficiency, leadership, and doctrinal alignment. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on performance-based requirements that ensure high standards of quality and accountability in support of unconventional warfare capabilities. PerezQuinones maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SOF LANDING LLC, TERRESTRIS, LLC, and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in delivering specialized training systems, operational support services, and niche technical solutions tailored to SOF requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with contractors who demonstrate deep domain knowledge in military-specific environments and a track record of responsive, mission-aligned execution. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 80%—are conducted as open competitions, he actively promotes small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating 20% of his portfolio to qualified small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering competition and expanding the pool of capable vendors aligned with USASOC’s unique operational needs. His procurement focus is concentrated in five primary NAICS categories: 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), 611710 (Educational Support Services), 541990 (Other Professional Services), 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing), and 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing). These reflect a diverse but mission-driven demand for specialized training infrastructure, adaptive equipment, and technical services that support unconventional warfare readiness across physical, cognitive, and logistical domains.
