Gloria Susie Hoybach

Gloria Susie Hoybach serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization of military training systems and defense technology integration. She manages a portfolio of technical service acquisitions focused on advanced simulation infrastructure, mission command systems, and aviation/artillery training platforms. Her work directly enables operational readiness by securing engineering, research, and systems integration services critical to next-generation force development. Hoybach routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring deep technical expertise in software-defined training environments and embedded systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense technology contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in defense R&D, systems engineering, and rapid prototyping. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes over prescriptive specifications, fostering innovation through performance work statements and agile acquisition methodologies. Hoybach’s procurement strategy balances broad competition with targeted small business engagement, with approximately one-third of her awards set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for veteran-owned firms within high-technology defense sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing), reflecting a dual emphasis on software-driven training simulations and specialized equipment for live-fire and virtual training ranges. She procures integrated systems that combine hardware, software, and data analytics to enhance soldier readiness, with deep technical alignment in digital twin modeling, real-time telemetry, and adaptive learning architectures for military education platforms.
