Alberto Gomez

Alberto Gomez serves as a Contract Specialist with the Defense Contract Management Agency’s Space Enterprise (S0543A), where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for high-reliability electrical components and specialized manufacturing services critical to national defense space and strategic weapons systems. His responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. He primarily handles complex, technical procurements for engineering services, precision manufacturing, and legacy system sustainment, supporting the agency’s mandate to maintain operational readiness of aerospace and missile defense infrastructure. Gomez collaborates with a diverse base of industrial contractors specializing in defense-grade electronics, hermetic sealing, radiation-hardened circuitry, and advanced materials fabrication. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships with firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR certifications, emphasizing quality control, supply chain traceability, and configuration management. He engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with defense industrial base standards. His procurement pattern reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a preference for full and open competition under FAR Part 6. This approach underscores a mission-driven emphasis on technical excellence and availability of specialized capabilities over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all statutory small business requirements when applicable. Gomez’s primary NAICS focus is 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), encompassing the procurement of custom-fabricated components, specialized test fixtures, and mission-critical assemblies for space and missile systems. His technical domain expertise lies in high-reliability electronics, hermetic packaging, and radiation-tolerant subsystems, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-STD-883, NASA-STD-8739, and other defense aerospace standards. He consistently ensures acquisitions align with the technical rigor demanded by strategic defense programs.
