Eric M. Borrero

Eric M. Borrero serves as a key procurement professional at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance space science and Earth observation through strategic acquisitions of specialized training and workforce development services. In his role, he manages the acquisition lifecycle for professional and management development contracts that enhance the technical competency and leadership capabilities of NASA’s scientific and engineering workforce. His acquisitions focus on high-value, mission-critical training programs that align with NASA’s strategic priorities in space systems integration, Earth observation instrumentation, and deep-space telecommunications, ensuring the workforce remains at the forefront of aerospace innovation. Borrero maintains long-standing relationships with two primary contractors: Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lexington, MA. These partnerships reflect a preference for institutions with deep technical expertise in aerospace education, systems engineering training, and advanced scientific workforce development. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, high-caliber providers capable of delivering customized, accredited training curricula tailored to NASA’s unique operational and research environments, often involving complex performance-based requirements and technical evaluation criteria. Borrero’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, the quality and rigor of the procurements ensure competitive, merit-based award decisions. His primary NAICS classification is 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—indicating a singular focus on advanced workforce education. He procures specialized training in spacecraft systems engineering, mission operations, data analytics, and space communications protocols, ensuring NASA’s personnel are equipped with the latest technical competencies to support next-generation Earth and space science missions.
