LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Unit and job title: 47th Contracting Flight contract specialist
Why he XLed: Joseph backfilled three contract specialists for four weeks, taking on an additional $1 million in responsibilities and handled it without issue. He salvaged a $93,000 nurse contract that was terminated after a contractor couldn’t backfill the position, and he returned more than $46,000 to the medical group to fill a full-time position. Joseph led an $80,000 gym floor repair project, coordinating with multiple agencies to ensure the project stays in compliance with regulations and that it stays safe for our Airmen. He managed a $31,000 carpet replacement contract, catching a miscalculation in square footage in building 77. Joseph also led Airmen on an $86 million base operating services contract, negotiating an additional 2 months of service for $2.2 million and avoided any break in service during that time.
