Diltricia Montgomery

Diltricia Montgomery serves as an FBO User, playing a critical support role in the federal acquisition process by managing the publication and dissemination of solicitation opportunities on the Federal Business Opportunities platform. While not a contracting officer, her function ensures transparency and accessibility in the procurement lifecycle, enabling vendors to identify and respond to federal requirements with precision. She facilitates the timely posting of synopses, solicitations, and award notices, ensuring compliance with FAR and OMB guidelines. Her work underpins the agency’s mission to foster fair and open competition by making procurement opportunities visible to the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors. Although no specific contractor relationships are identifiable from available data, Montgomery’s role inherently connects federal buyers with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including manufacturers, research firms, and technology wholesalers. Her consistent use of the FBO system suggests a high-volume, high-accuracy workflow that supports numerous contracting offices across agencies, fostering equitable access for both large and small businesses. Her operational discipline ensures that solicitation data is standardized, accurate, and aligned with procurement best practices. Montgomery’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 98.3% of opportunities issued without set-aside designations. Only 1.6% are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a minimal reliance on socioeconomic programs. This pattern suggests a focus on technical merit and market readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses remain eligible and encouraged to compete on an equal footing. Her primary industry focus centers on advanced instrumentation and technology sectors, particularly NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing). She also supports procurement activity in computer equipment wholesale (423430) and scientific R&D services (541712), demonstrating expertise in procuring high-precision scientific equipment, test and measurement devices, and related software solutions critical to technical and laboratory operations.
