Valentin Saucedo

Valentin Saucedo serves as the primary procurement lead for the 697DCK Regional Acquisitions Services under the Federal Aviation Administration, responsible for managing mission-critical service contracts that sustain and modernize the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure. He oversees the acquisition of facility operations and maintenance services essential to the readiness of Air Traffic Control Towers, Flight Standard District Offices, and related aviation facilities. His role ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering reliable, safe, and efficient support services critical to national airspace system operations. Saucedo specializes in service-based procurements requiring strict adherence to federal safety and environmental standards. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STRUCTSURE PROJECTS INC, RESOLUTION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS INC., FORTIS NATIVE GROUP LLC, BRICE TERRA LLC, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal facility support, particularly in janitorial, landscaping, and security systems services. Saucedo fosters long-term vendor engagement through repeat awards and performance-based contract structures, emphasizing accountability, quality control, and regulatory compliance. Saucedo demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 82% of his awards designated for small business set-asides—45.5% specifically reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 36.4% under the general Small Business Set-Aside program (FAR 19.5). His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to prioritize veteran-owned and small business participation, aligning with federal mandates while promoting equitable access to government opportunities. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), which accounts for over 70% of his portfolio, followed by NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services) and NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services). He specializes in acquiring facility maintenance services that ensure operational continuity, environmental compliance, and security integrity at FAA-managed aviation facilities, demonstrating deep domain expertise in mission-critical infrastructure support.
