Capt Sam M. Trujillo

Samuel Trujillo serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. He oversees the procurement of mission-critical technical support, including systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and administrative management consulting. His portfolio is strategically aligned with the agency’s priorities in advancing digital capabilities and ensuring seamless integration of advanced technical services across defense systems. Trujillo utilizes full and open competition as the primary acquisition method, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering high-value, mission-driven outcomes. Trujillo maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established partners with deep expertise in defense-sector technical services. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with firms capable of delivering specialized analytical, engineering, and IT modernization solutions. These partnerships are typically structured under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles or cost-reimbursement contracts, enabling agile responses to evolving operational requirements while maintaining rigorous oversight and accountability. Trujillo’s set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with full and open competition, with 95% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 5% of his portfolio is designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses, indicating a targeted but limited focus on socioeconomic programs. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach reflects a mission-first procurement philosophy that prioritizes technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541611 (administrative management consulting), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 541990 (other professional services), with additional activity in office furniture manufacturing. This reflects a diverse but mission-aligned portfolio spanning technical consulting, software development, and support infrastructure, demonstrating expertise in acquiring both high-tech digital services and ancillary operational assets critical to Air Force readiness.
