Steven Reyes

Major Steven Reyes serves as a key contracting leader within the W7PA Uspfo Activity Prang 156, a Department of the Army unit supporting the Puerto Rico Air National Guard’s operational readiness. In his role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions focused on mission-critical infrastructure maintenance, including HVAC systems, plumbing, and utility upgrades essential to aircraft hangars, barracks, and support facilities. His acquisitions directly enable sustained readiness for reserve component operations, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning with the agency’s strategic infrastructure priorities. He routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing timely delivery and quality assurance for high-impact facilities projects. Major Reyes maintains a consistent working relationship with ICON CORP, the primary contractor for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning services across the activity’s portfolio. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, with ICON CORP frequently selected for repeat engagements due to demonstrated technical proficiency, performance reliability, and adherence to military facility standards. He fosters partnership-driven contracting, encouraging proactive communication, preventive maintenance planning, and rapid response capabilities to ensure uninterrupted operations in a high-utilization, tropical environment. Major Reyes exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, exclusively awarding contracts to total small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized preference to cultivate local economic resilience and maximize participation from small, community-based firms capable of meeting stringent DoD infrastructure requirements. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand opportunity without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—where he procures specialized services including commercial HVAC installation, ductwork retrofitting, chilled water system maintenance, and integrated building automation controls. His expertise lies in ensuring compliance with military environmental and energy efficiency standards, making him a subject matter expert in facility systems procurement for Air National Guard installations.
