Gabe Zuccarelli

Gabriel F. Zuccarelli serves as a key procurement professional within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical telecommunications and network infrastructure solutions. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts that enable secure, high-capacity, and resilient global communications for Department of Defense operations. Zuccarelli specializes in procuring advanced telecom services, virtual private network deployments, and integrated IT support systems that modernize legacy infrastructure and ensure interoperability across military and federal networks. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with DISA’s mission to sustain and expand the DoD’s global communications architecture under evolving threat environments. Zuccarelli maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in secure fiber-optic connectivity, enterprise telecom integration, and mission-critical network services. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established industry players with deep technical capabilities in DoD-compliant communications systems, often leveraging indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to ensure agility and scalability. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses each account for 2.4% of set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. While the majority of contracts remain open competition, Zuccarelli actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs to foster innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. Zuccarelli’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 511210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services), indicating a heavy emphasis on managed IT services, cloud-enabled telecom solutions, and network operations support. His technical domain expertise centers on secure communications architecture, data transmission systems, and integrated network management platforms essential to modern defense operations.
