Chelsey M. Berrios, as a Senior Airman (SrA) within the FA7014 office of the Department of the Air Force, supports critical procurement operations focused on sustaining and modernizing Air Force operational readiness. She plays a key role in managing acquisitions for professional services, technical support, and enterprise IT modernization initiatives, with a strong emphasis on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical analytics. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain technological superiority through timely and compliant contracting practices, ensuring that high-priority capabilities are delivered to warfighters with operational urgency. Berrios maintains established relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and Purdue University, reflecting a balanced approach to leveraging both industry experts and academic research partners. She routinely engages with vendors offering advanced technical solutions in data infrastructure, cybersecurity, and systems integration, fostering collaborative, performance-based contracting models that emphasize innovation and mission alignment. Her procurement approach prioritizes long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and mission-tailored solutions under complex DoD compliance frameworks. Her contracting portfolio reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with equal distribution between total small business set-asides and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, each accounting for 25% of her awards. The remaining 50% are competed without set-aside, ensuring broad market access while actively promoting opportunities for certified small businesses. This balanced strategy underscores her dedication to fostering a competitive, inclusive acquisition environment aligned with FAR 19.5 and SDVOSB preference policies. Berrios primarily focuses on NAICS codes 237310 (infrastructure support), 518210 (cloud and data hosting services), and 511210 (software publishing), with additional activity in electronic computer manufacturing and specialized engineering equipment.
