Abigail B. Gustafson serves as a key procurement lead within Acquisitions - AQM Momentum (19AQMM), a critical component of the U.S. Department of State responsible for securing mission-critical infrastructure and technical services abroad. She manages the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for high-priority contracts supporting diplomatic security, IT modernization, and facility operations, ensuring U.S. missions maintain operational continuity and resilience in high-risk environments. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to safeguard personnel and infrastructure through timely, compliant, and strategically aligned contracting actions, with a primary focus on technical consulting and specialized service delivery. Gustafson maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of global and domestic contractors, including PBG Consulting, LLC, CGI Federal Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Pütz Security AG, and KADIAK LLC_DGI-ATI II LLC_Property & Environmental Management Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in security systems integration, facility management, and technical advisory services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and adherence to international operational standards, fostering collaborative, mission-driven partnerships rather than transactional engagements. Gustafson’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and global scalability over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the Department of State’s need for specialized, vetted providers capable of operating in complex international contexts. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with security and operational requirements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—where she procures specialized advisory services for security infrastructure, cybersecurity architecture, facility resilience planning, and technical systems integration. She routinely engages contractors with deep expertise in diplomatic security protocols, risk assessment methodologies, and international compliance frameworks, ensuring that all acquisitions meet the rigorous standards required for U.S. diplomatic operations worldwide.
