Emily A. Gomez

Emily A. Gomez serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8604 Aflcmc Pzi unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize aerospace logistics and maintenance infrastructure under Air Force Materiel Command. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical engineering services, automated maintenance systems, and material handling equipment essential to maintaining operational readiness of Air Force platforms. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with strategic modernization goals and technical specifications for advanced manufacturing and digital maintenance workflows. Gomez maintains consistent partnerships with industry leaders including General Electric Company, ACC3 International Incorporated, U.S. Materials Handling Corporation, ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc, and Warehouse One, Inc., reflecting a blend of large-tier prime contractors and specialized technical vendors. Her contracting approach prioritizes deep technical capability in automation, conveyor systems, and metal coating services, often requiring integration of proprietary software, ruggedized hardware, and compliance with military-grade durability standards. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and technical innovation. A strong advocate for small business participation, Gomez consistently structures procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program, with 77.8% of her awards reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base capable of delivering agile, niche solutions in aerospace logistics. Her contracting patterns demonstrate sustained support for small businesses with specialized expertise in manufacturing and engineering services, aligning with broader DoD socioeconomic objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333922 (Conveyor and Conveying Equipment Manufacturing), which accounts for nearly all of her activity, alongside minor allocations to NAICS 332812 (Metal Coating and Engraving Services). She specializes in procuring automated material transport systems, precision-coated components, and integrated logistics solutions that enhance maintenance efficiency and reduce downtime across Air Force fleets.
