Feliciano J. Lopez

Feliciano J. Lopez serves as a Contracting Officer with FA7037 Amic Det 2 JBISA, a critical unit within the Department of the Air Force responsible for acquiring advanced engineering, information technology, and secure communications systems to sustain and modernize air operations infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical systems, including software-defined radio technologies, integrated command and control platforms, and cyber-enabled solutions that enhance operational readiness. His procurement activities directly support the Air Force’s strategic priorities in digital modernization, secure networking, and emerging technology training, ensuring timely delivery of capabilities that underpin air domain superiority. Lopez cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, primarily engaging firms specializing in systems integration, cybersecurity, and defense-grade software development. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with both large defense contractors and small businesses capable of delivering tailored, agile solutions in highly classified and regulated environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements, and a preference for vendors with proven experience in DoD IT and communications ecosystems. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of acquisitions conducted as open competitions and 40% reserved for small business participation—split evenly between 8(a) competed set-asides and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor and mission readiness. Lopez’s primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 561621 (Security Systems Services). He routinely procures secure communications platforms, mission-critical software applications, network infrastructure, and cybersecurity services aligned with Air Force modernization initiatives, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of defense IT, radio frequency systems, and integrated command and control architectures.
