Ariza Gomez serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical air base infrastructure. Responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of construction, facility systems, and mission-critical support contracts, Gomez ensures operational readiness through the acquisition of building equipment, wastewater systems, HVAC components, and secure communications infrastructure. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain resilient, mission-ready installations by aligning procurement strategies with national defense priorities and environmental compliance standards. Gomez maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized facility and equipment services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise and performance reliability, particularly in complex infrastructure domains such as industrial maintenance and environmental systems. She prioritizes contractors with proven experience in military-grade compliance, lifecycle support, and rapid deployment capabilities, fostering a collaborative acquisition environment that balances innovation with operational necessity. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Gomez consistently structures procurements to maximize small business participation, with over 57% of her contracts designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) represent nearly 29% of her award portfolio, reflecting a deliberate commitment to veteran economic empowerment. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), with significant activity in hazardous waste collection (562112) and commercial machinery repair (811310). This reflects deep expertise in facility lifecycle management, environmental remediation, and mission-critical infrastructure support—domains essential to sustaining Air Force operational readiness across geographically dispersed installations.
