Gilberto Perez

Gilberto Perez Rosa serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. He specializes in complex research and development contracts, guiding requirements development, source selection, and contract administration for technical services in physical, engineering, and life sciences. His role is critical to advancing agency missions through the strategic acquisition of scientific and technical expertise, often supporting innovation-driven projects that require rigorous evaluation of contractor capabilities and technical proposals. While specific contractor names are not available, Gilberto consistently engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses with specialized technical capabilities in R&D. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a strong emphasis on evaluating technical merit, past performance, and compliance with performance-based requirements. He fosters collaborative relationships with industry partners to ensure contract deliverables align with scientific and operational objectives. Gilberto demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with 12.5% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of his awards are unrestricted, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in high-tech sectors. He does not routinely utilize other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a targeted focus on broad small business eligibility rather than niche certifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 and 541715, encompassing research and development services in physical, engineering, and life sciences—excluding biotechnology and nanotechnology. He regularly acquires analytical services, laboratory support, engineering modeling, data analysis, and prototype development, demonstrating deep expertise in technical domains requiring scientific rigor and innovation. His work supports cutting-edge research initiatives through strategic sourcing of specialized scientific and technical talent.
