Gloria D. Caldwell

Gloria D. Caldwell serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions for critical aerospace test and evaluation infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for high-precision sensing, communication, and instrumentation systems that support avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. She specializes in procuring construction and technical services essential to modernizing test ranges and maintaining mission-critical facilities, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives and technological modernization priorities. Caldwell maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms capable of delivering specialized construction, electrical integration, and advanced instrumentation solutions tailored to secure, high-performance aerospace environments. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and timely delivery in support of classified and mission-sensitive operations. Her contracting patterns reveal a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with an equal split between total small business set-asides and no-set-aside procurements. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring access for small businesses under FAR 19.5, particularly those with demonstrated expertise in technical construction and system integration. Caldwell’s primary NAICS focus areas—236220, 238110, and 238210—indicate deep engagement in commercial and institutional building construction, poured concrete structures, and electrical installation services. These procurements support the physical and electrical infrastructure required for advanced test ranges, sensor calibration labs, and electromagnetic compatibility facilities, underscoring her technical expertise in sustaining the Air Force’s ground-based test and evaluation ecosystem.
