SSgt Gerrymar Villanueva

Gerrymar Villanueva serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of critical aerospace, information systems, and sustainment capabilities essential to maintaining air superiority and space dominance. Responsible for managing complex contract actions aligned with modernization priorities, Villanueva focuses on securing next-generation avionics, secure C5ISRT systems, and cyber-enabled command and control technologies. Their work directly enables the Air Force’s mission to field advanced, resilient platforms and infrastructure capable of operating in contested environments, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant and strategic contracting practices. Villanueva maintains consistent procurement relationships with major defense prime contractors, including The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation, partnering with these industry leaders to deliver high-performance aircraft systems, mission-critical electronics, and integrated defense solutions. These collaborations are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts and technology refresh initiatives, reflecting a reliance on established aerospace and defense contractors with proven track records in delivering complex, high-assurance systems under stringent security and performance requirements. A defining feature of Villanueva’s contracting approach is a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 81% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, prioritizing socioeconomic programs that enhance competition and resilience across the defense supply chain. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a commitment to equitable opportunity and workforce development within the national security ecosystem. While the portfolio includes diverse NAICS codes, Villanueva’s primary technical focus lies in 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—indicating deep expertise in procuring subsystems for combat aircraft and support platforms. Additional activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 324191 (Petroleum Lubricating Oil and Grease Manufacturing) suggests engagement in both digital enablement and logistics sustainment, reinforcing a holistic approach to aerospace readiness and operational continuity.
