Carlos D. Boglin serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity infrastructure. His procurement activities support high-priority technical domains requiring specialized expertise, ensuring timely delivery of analytical, administrative, and digital transformation services aligned with Air Force strategic objectives. Boglin maintains established working relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a balanced approach between industry partners delivering specialized technical support and academic institutions providing research-driven solutions. His contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for long-term, performance-based engagements that leverage subject matter expertise in IT modernization and mission analytics. These partnerships are characterized by collaborative, outcome-focused contract administration and a consistent emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition (75%), Boglin actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (25%), aligning with FAR 19.5 guidelines. He consistently prioritizes socioeconomic contracting opportunities for small businesses, fostering a procurement environment that encourages competitive entry and sustainable vendor development without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers), 519130 (Internet Publishing and Broadcasting), and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), indicating a unique blend of digital services, information dissemination platforms, and support services for mission-essential facilities. This diverse technical footprint underscores his expertise in procuring both high-tech software solutions and ancillary administrative services critical to Air Force infrastructure and workforce sustainment.
