Patrick T. Burry

Patrick T. Burry serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7M5 Uspfo Activity Id Arng, a Department of the Army unit supporting the Idaho Army National Guard’s readiness and quality-of-life initiatives. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for operational and administrative services, with a focus on enhancing military personnel welfare through improved recreational, communication, and community engagement infrastructure. Burry specializes in complex service acquisitions, including telecommunications, audiovisual systems, and event support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. His role is pivotal in translating unit requirements into legally sound, efficiently executed contracts that sustain force readiness and morale. Burry cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, primarily small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs, given the agency’s 100% small business set-aside policy. While no specific prime contractors are identified in current award data, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering technical, logistical, and experiential services tailored to military community needs. He emphasizes responsive vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence, fostering a procurement environment that prioritizes reliability and mission compatibility over volume. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Burry exclusively utilizes full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring equitable access for all eligible small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB concerns. His contracting approach reflects a deliberate strategy to amplify economic opportunity within the defense ecosystem while maintaining rigorous performance standards. This commitment aligns with DoD-wide goals to strengthen the small business industrial base and promote geographic and demographic diversity among contractors. Burry’s procurement focus centers on three primary NAICS categories: 334310 for audio and video equipment manufacturing, 517112 for wireless telecommunications carriers, and 711310 for promoters of performing arts and sports events with facilities. He routinely acquires mission-critical infrastructure such as field communication systems, multimedia support equipment, and event management services for military family and youth programs, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with both commercial off-the-shelf solutions and customized service delivery models.
