Patrick R. Staresina

Patrick Staresina serves as a Contract Officer at the W39L USA Readiness Center under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of professional services critical to sustaining military readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that support training, infrastructure sustainment, and command and control modernization. He specializes in procuring expert consulting and engineering services aligned with the Center’s mission to enhance operational preparedness through targeted, mission-critical support. His acquisitions are predominantly non-construction professional services, with a strong emphasis on strategic planning and technical advisory capabilities. Staresina maintains a consistent contracting relationship with KPH Construction Corp, which serves as the primary vendor for a range of services supporting facility sustainment and readiness operations. His working relationship with this contractor reflects a pattern of repeat engagements grounded in performance reliability and mission alignment, indicating a trusted partnership developed through sustained contract execution and compliance. While KPH Construction Corp is the dominant awardee, his portfolio reflects a deliberate focus on small business participation, ensuring that all awards are structured to meet socioeconomic objectives. Mr. Staresina exhibits a 100% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, ensuring that every acquisition is reserved exclusively for small business concerns. This reflects a robust and unwavering dedication to fostering small business growth within the defense ecosystem, with no use of other set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, as all procurements are structured to maximize broad small business access. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541810, Advertising Agencies, which encompasses strategic communications, public affairs support, training materials development, and multimedia outreach services essential to readiness and force projection. This specialization underscores his expertise in procuring non-traditional defense services that enhance operational awareness, unit cohesion, and public engagement through professionally designed communication products and campaigns.
