Yong H. Trawinski

Yong H. Trawinski serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-enabling acquisitions to sustain Army installation readiness. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement for facility support services, including janitorial, landscaping, HVAC, religious support, and building systems maintenance. Trawinski ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract actions with the agency’s operational priorities to maintain safe, functional, and mission-critical infrastructure across military installations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a stable base of vendors, including Discount Tree Service, Inc., Ace Uniform Services, Inc., Quality Biological, Inc., Liberty Communications, Inc., and Special Event Flooring Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche service providers delivering specialized, non-commodity goods and support functions essential to daily garrison operations. Trawinski’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in clear scope definition and consistent contract administration. Trawinski demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his deliberate use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance economic opportunity within the defense supply chain. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad-based small business eligibility to maximize competition and responsiveness. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors), 325998 (Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing), and 325612 (Polish and Sanitation Goods Manufacturing), reflecting a focus on uniforms, cleaning compounds, and facility sanitation supplies. He also regularly procures security services and nondurable goods distribution, demonstrating technical familiarity with both service-based and product-driven supply chains critical to installation sustainment.
