Erick Serrano

Erick Serrano serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization of military training systems and defense technology integration. He manages complex acquisitions for advanced engineering, research, and technical services critical to enhancing operational readiness, with a focus on live-fire simulation infrastructure, mission command systems, and aviation/artillery training platforms. His work directly enables the agency’s mission to innovate in defense education and battlefield-ready technologies through structured contracting processes aligned with DoD acquisition regulations and technical requirements. Serrano maintains consistent relationships with a core group of technical service providers, including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These contractors are frequently engaged for systems engineering, prototyping, and R&D support in defense simulation and command systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in high-fidelity modeling, sensor integration, and mission-critical software development, indicating a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, interoperable solutions under tight operational timelines. Serrano’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid deployment of specialized defense technologies. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, the nature of the work still allows for small business involvement through subcontracting or teaming arrangements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), underscoring expertise in engineering design, systems integration, and applied R&D for military training environments. He routinely procures simulation hardware, embedded software, data analytics platforms, and live-virtual-constructive (LVC) training systems, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in defense technology lifecycle management and test-and-evaluation support.
