His portfolio centers on the acquisition of advanced technology, training systems, and logistics enablement solutions critical to pilot proficiency, communications resilience, and operational agility. Batot manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the squadron’s strategic modernization objectives. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Batot consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including small businesses, specialized service providers, and niche technology integrators capable of delivering tailored air transportation support solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with agile, responsive vendors who can rapidly adapt to evolving operational requirements in dynamic theater environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Batot demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a 50% set-aside preference for Total Small Business and an identical 50% preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation, leveraging FAR 19.5 set-asides to promote equitable access to federal opportunities while ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain within the small business base. His primary NAICS focus lies in 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), indicating a dual specialization in aviation logistics support—such as ground handling, maintenance coordination, and flight operations enablers—and specialized textile applications for aerospace environments, including protective gear, cargo restraints, and aircraft interior systems. This unique combination underscores his technical fluency in both operational aviation support and niche manufacturing domains critical to Air Force sustainment.
