Raul Medina

Raul Medina serves as a Contracting Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) within the 0414 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit under the Department of the Army, supporting the logistical and administrative needs of U.S. Army garrisons and expeditionary forces across Europe and Africa. In this critical role, he executes full-cycle procurement actions for non-combat services essential to operational readiness and quality-of-life sustainment. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, awarding, and administering contracts for facilities support, transportation, and construction-related services, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in mobility, housing, and family support infrastructure. Medina collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in masonry, passenger vehicle rental, and facilities support services, maintaining professional, transparent relationships grounded in competitive solicitation practices. He works closely with both large-capacity service providers and small, regionally based contractors to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical resources. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to delivery timelines in austere or overseas environments. Medina’s contracting portfolio reflects a uniform preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. While he does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains fully compliant with small business outreach requirements, and he actively considers qualified small businesses in all solicitations. His primary NAICS focus areas—238140 (Masonry Contractors), 532111 (Passenger Car Rental), and 561210 (Facilities Support Services)—reflect a specialized domain in infrastructure maintenance, mobility logistics, and garrison operations support. He possesses deep expertise in procuring services that sustain daily operations in deployed and overseas installations, ensuring compliance with military standards for safety, durability, and operational continuity.
