Geri A. Arillo

Geri A. Arillo serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while supporting mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on information services, particularly those aligned with NAICS Code 511210, which encompasses software publishers and digital content providers. Arillo’s work directly enables the agency’s digital transformation initiatives by securing scalable, secure, and interoperable software solutions that support data management, content delivery, and system integration. Arillo maintains a broad and competitive vendor base, engaging with a diverse array of contractors specializing in software development, licensing, and digital content services. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently fosters relationships with both large-tier technology firms and niche software vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes open competition, clear performance metrics, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure deliverables meet technical and operational requirements. Arillo’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on technical merit and market capability rather than socioeconomic classifications, though she remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals and regularly considers qualified small businesses in competitive solicitations. Her primary technical domain is software publishing and digital content delivery, encompassing licensed applications, cloud-based platforms, and proprietary software systems. Arillo’s expertise lies in procuring complex software solutions that require detailed technical evaluations, intellectual property considerations, and ongoing maintenance agreements, making her a key contributor to the agency’s information technology modernization efforts.
