SSG Paul Adamo

SSG Adamo, Paul supports the 0410 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit within the Department of the Army, where he plays a critical role in securing non-combat logistical services essential to sustaining military readiness and quality of life for deployed and garrisoned forces. His procurement responsibilities encompass the acquisition of facility support services, including sanitation, janitorial operations, lodging, and food-related supply chains, ensuring operational continuity across expeditionary and rotational environments. He manages a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, prioritizing rapid response, scalability, and mission-aligned vendor performance in austere and dynamic operational settings. While specific contractor names are not available, SSG Adamo maintains relationships with a broad base of commercial vendors capable of delivering essential services under performance-based contracting frameworks. His working patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven logistics capabilities, particularly those able to meet stringent DoD compliance standards for hygiene, safety, and rapid deployment. Vendor partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or basic ordering agreements to enable agile response to fluctuating force requirements. SSG Adamo’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 90% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 3.3% specifically to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals. His approach balances efficiency with statutory obligations to foster economic opportunity among qualified small and veteran-owned enterprises. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), and 312112 (Bottled Water Manufacturing), reflecting a specialized domain in environmental hygiene, potable water supply, and facility maintenance. He also procures consumer electronics rentals and food retail services to support living standards in remote installations, demonstrating technical expertise in non-traditional logistics domains critical to force sustainment.
