Gonzalo Diago

Gonzalo Diago serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8307 Aflcmc Hnck C3IN unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical cyber and command, control, communications, intelligence, and information systems. His role centers on enabling operational superiority in air and space domains by procuring advanced software platforms, secure computing infrastructure, and cyber defense tools that support real-time decision-making. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for complex technical services, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and rapid integration of emerging technologies into operational environments. Diago collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in cyber operations, software development, and mission-critical systems integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearances and proven experience in DoD cyber modernization initiatives. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, performance-based contracts that emphasize innovation, rapid prototyping, and continuous delivery—common in software-intensive environments requiring frequent updates and field validation. Diago’s procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses remain eligible and compete on equal footing based on merit and compliance with stringent cybersecurity requirements. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, cybersecurity services, cloud infrastructure support, and systems integration for classified environments. He routinely procures solutions involving zero-trust architecture, secure containerization, automated threat detection, and resilient network operations—reflecting deep expertise in the evolving cyber domain of air and space force operations.
