Felix R. Marrero

Felix R. Marrero serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages complex acquisitions supporting airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio focuses on procuring advanced avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure. Marrero specializes in high-precision measurement and control systems, overseeing full lifecycle contracting for technical hardware, software integration, and mission-critical support services that sustain Air Force operational superiority. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC, reflecting a balanced mix of specialized engineering firms and niche technical service providers. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, sensor calibration, and ruggedized instrumentation, often engaging firms capable of rapid prototyping and field-deployable system integration. Marrero demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with half of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remaining half are competed without set-asides to ensure broad market access. His approach supports both small business growth and competitive fairness, aligning with Air Force objectives to expand the defense industrial base. His primary NAICS focus includes professional training, food service, and specialized manufacturing, though these reflect ancillary or facility-support needs rather than core mission systems. The dominant technical domain remains aerospace test and evaluation, with procurement activities centered on mission-enabling infrastructure, calibration services, and integrated test bed systems essential to maintaining air dominance.
