Greg H. Santiago

Greg H. Santiago serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to sustaining and modernizing Air Force operational readiness. His portfolio centers on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), cybersecurity infrastructure, enterprise IT modernization, and mission-critical analytics. Santiago ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in advanced technical support and mission-enabling services. He leads the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition and market research to award and performance oversight—ensuring timely delivery of high-value, mission-critical capabilities. Santiago maintains strong, long-term relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide specialized technical expertise in systems engineering, data analytics, and defense-oriented research. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven track records in delivering complex, mission-sensitive services. These partnerships are characterized by sustained performance, technical depth, and alignment with Air Force modernization objectives, often resulting in task order-based engagements under multiple-award contracts. Santiago’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under non-set-aside authorities, with 100% of his awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and competition among qualified industry participants rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures that all eligible firms—regardless of size or certification—compete on technical merit and past performance. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990, encompassing all other professional, scientific, and technical services. This includes enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity consulting, mission analytics, and advanced systems engineering support. Santiago’s expertise lies in acquiring high-integrity technical services that directly enable Air Force readiness, with a strong emphasis on innovation, scalability, and mission-critical reliability.
