Adriana Carmona Paredes

Adriana Carmona Paredes serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize operational readiness through specialized technical and administrative services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on systems engineering and technical assistance, enterprise IT modernization, and mission-critical analytics, ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on high-value professional services that enhance institutional capacity and cybersecurity resilience. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with prime contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, leveraging their expertise in custom software development, logistics consulting, and technical analysis. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in defense-aligned domains, often resulting in long-term, performance-based task orders under Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who can deliver scalable, secure, and mission-adaptive solutions under strict compliance frameworks. Adriana exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 37.5% of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 12.5% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While half of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster innovation and diversify the supplier base within the defense ecosystem. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting deep expertise in logistics optimization and tailored software development for defense systems. She also procures related services in enterprise IT modernization, data analytics, and administrative support, ensuring the Air Force maintains agile, secure, and efficient operational infrastructure.
