Christopher Enriquez

Christopher Enriquez serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in securing and modernizing the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of complex telecommunications acquisitions, with a primary focus on satellite telecommunications systems, secure virtual private networks, and high-capacity network solutions that enable mission-critical connectivity across military and federal operations. His work directly supports DISA’s strategic imperative to enhance resilience, interoperability, and cybersecurity in defense communications networks. Enriquez maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships are centered on the delivery of end-to-end satellite and fiber-based telecom services, network engineering, and secure infrastructure deployment. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical compliance, and vendor accountability to ensure mission readiness and system reliability under demanding operational conditions. Enriquez’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s requirement for scalable, enterprise-grade solutions that demand specialized technical capabilities not typically available within small business pools. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his acquisition strategy, all procurements adhere to full and open competition requirements under FAR Part 6. His primary NAICS focus is 517410—Satellite Telecommunications—where he specializes in procuring geosynchronous and low-earth-orbit satellite services, ground station infrastructure, encrypted data transport, and bandwidth-on-demand capabilities. Enriquez’s expertise lies in acquiring mission-essential telecom systems that support secure, high-throughput, and globally distributed communications for deployed forces and federal agencies.
