Steve M. Noriega

Steve M. Noriega serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining aerospace operations at remote and expeditionary sites. His responsibilities encompass the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for infrastructure resilience, preventive maintenance systems, and mission-enabling services that ensure airfield readiness and facility integrity. Noriega specializes in complex, multi-disciplinary procurements that bridge civil engineering, industrial equipment support, and operational logistics, often requiring rapid response and technical adaptability in austere environments. He maintains a consistent working relationship with Combat Medical Systems LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized equipment and support services aligned with expeditionary operational needs. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in niche technical domains, while actively fostering partnerships with small businesses that bring agility and innovation to mission-critical requirements. Noriega’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes across a diverse vendor base. Noriega demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of his awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, supplemented by targeted set-asides for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His procurement strategy prioritizes inclusive competition, ensuring broad participation from small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms while maintaining mission readiness standards. His primary NAICS focus areas include 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) for industrial maintenance systems, 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) for mission-critical IT support, and 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services) for environmental compliance at deployed locations. He also regularly procures solid waste collection and specialized data services, reflecting a broad technical portfolio that supports the full lifecycle of expeditionary infrastructure operations.
