Domonique Holmes

Domonique Holmes serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing acquisitions critical to advancing aerospace test and evaluation systems. Responsible for managing contracts that support the development and integration of high-precision avionics, electronic warfare sensors, and signal intelligence instrumentation, Holmes ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize airborne and ground-based measurement infrastructure. Their procurement portfolio emphasizes complex technical systems requiring rigorous calibration, electromagnetic compatibility, and real-time data acquisition capabilities, often involving custom-engineered hardware and mission-critical software integration. Holmes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized instrumentation, electromagnetic shielding, and test fixture fabrication. The working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration, technical alignment, and repeat performance on high-stakes developmental and sustainment projects requiring stringent military specifications. While the majority of acquisitions—80%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Holmes consistently allocates 20% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation. There is no documented use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on broad small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. The procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), reflecting an unusual but strategic alignment with precision sensor and control system manufacturing capabilities. These categories are leveraged to source highly specialized components for avionics test benches, signal conditioning modules, and electromagnetic interference mitigation systems, underscoring Holmes’ technical fluency in bridging commercial manufacturing standards with defense-grade performance requirements.
