Genevie Lopez

Genevie Lopez serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering specialized industrial and engineering solutions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements for aerospace components, precision manufacturing, and advanced materials, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes. Lopez routinely collaborates with engineering teams to translate operational needs into enforceable contract requirements, ensuring alignment with performance-based acquisition standards. Her contractor relationships center on mid-tier manufacturers and specialized suppliers with expertise in precision machining, powder metallurgy, and aerospace-grade adhesive systems. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with small businesses capable of meeting stringent quality and certification standards, including AS9100 and ISO 13485. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical capability assessments, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure delivery of mission-critical components under tight tolerances and regulatory oversight. Lopez demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 58.3% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes small business participation, ensuring opportunities are accessible to firms certified under various socioeconomic programs, including HUBZone and SDVOSB, when eligible. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand the industrial base by cultivating capable small manufacturers with niche technical capabilities, reinforcing resilience in the defense and aerospace supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (aircraft engine parts), 332710 (machine shops), and 332117 (powder metallurgy), with additional activity in adhesive manufacturing and power-driven handtool production. She specializes in procuring high-integrity components requiring advanced metallurgical processes, tight dimensional controls, and certification for use in safety-critical applications, demonstrating expertise in technical domains critical to national aerospace and defense infrastructure.
