SSgt James Gomez

SSgt James Gomez serves as a key procurement specialist within the FA4621 22 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of combat-ready airbase infrastructure. He manages mission-critical acquisitions for facility maintenance, precision equipment repair, and operational support services essential to aircraft readiness and installation functionality. His work directly enables the unit’s core mission by ensuring that critical environments—from maintenance bays to command centers—remain fully operational through timely and compliant contracting actions. He typically handles service-based procurements requiring technical specificity and rapid turnaround to meet dynamic operational demands. Gomez collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of small businesses and specialized vendors, prioritizing partnerships with firms possessing niche expertise in electronic repair, facility upkeep, and precision mechanical services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with local and regional vendors capable of delivering rapid-response maintenance and customization services under tight operational timelines. He fosters long-term vendor relationships built on reliability, compliance with military specifications, and demonstrated capacity to meet urgent readiness requirements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, SSgt Gomez consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 80% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and an additional 10% reserved for women-owned small businesses. His approach aligns with Air Force mandates to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and underrepresented vendors, ensuring broad competition while maintaining quality and responsiveness. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to strengthen the small business industrial base supporting defense infrastructure. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811210 for electronic and precision equipment repair, and 811420 for reupholstery and furniture repair—services critical to maintaining functional, mission-ready workspaces. He also routinely procures building inspection services (NAICS 541350) and machine tool manufacturing (NAICS 333517), demonstrating technical fluency in both facility sustainment and specialized mechanical support. His expertise spans the intersection of maintenance logistics, compliance, and installation readiness, making him a vital link in sustaining Air Force operational capability at the installation level.
