SSgt James Angelico

James Angelico serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA5702 379 Econs unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment of expeditionary air base infrastructure and mission-critical facilities. Though not a lead contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and requirement validation for facility-related contracts. His work ensures that logistical enablers and operational readiness priorities are translated into actionable procurement actions, particularly in support of airfield integrity, building systems, and equipment maintenance environments. He routinely interfaces with contracting teams to align requirements with statutory compliance and technical specifications for construction and specialized manufacturing. While no primary contractor relationships are currently documented, Angelico’s procurement activities consistently engage vendors capable of delivering facility sustainment solutions, including modular building components, roofing systems, and institutional-grade shelving and storage solutions. His working relationships emphasize collaboration with small business suppliers who meet stringent military-grade performance and durability standards, often coordinating pre-solicitation outreach to ensure market research aligns with operational needs. Angelico’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strong institutional commitment to small business participation, with 75% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, locally-based firms while maintaining supply chain resilience. His contracting patterns favor socioeconomic programs that support broad-based vendor development, particularly among firms certified under HUBZone and SDVOSB programs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 337215 for custom shelving, lockers, and partitions used in military barracks and support facilities, alongside NAICS 238160 for roofing systems and NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction. His technical expertise lies in integrating durable, low-maintenance infrastructure solutions into austere and overseas operating environments, ensuring compliance with Air Force installation standards and expeditionary sustainment doctrine.
