Oscar Urquidi

Oscar A. Urquidi serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical base sustainment and operational readiness through the acquisition of specialized services and equipment. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on communications infrastructure, logistical support, and facility operations, ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities for secure IT systems, personnel training, and deployed force readiness. His acquisitions span both commercial and government-unique requirements, often involving complex logistics, technical testing, and mission-enabling services across garrisoned and expeditionary environments. Urquidi maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including SupplyCore LLC, CyberProTex, LLC, and Liberty Communications, Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade communications, cybersecurity support, and base logistics. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on specialized small businesses capable of delivering niche technical services, particularly in communications equipment, packing and crating for deployment, and testing laboratories. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on reliability, compliance, and rapid response to operational demands. A strong advocate for small business participation, Urquidi consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his awards reserved for small businesses. His socioeconomic contracting approach emphasizes broad-based inclusion across multiple categories, including service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, and general small businesses, aligning with Air Force mandates to foster competitive, resilient supply chains. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 488991 (Packing and Crating), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories), underscoring expertise in logistics support, secure communications hardware, and technical validation services. He routinely acquires mission-critical systems for field deployment, ensuring compliance with DoD technical standards and operational security requirements.
