Jaime Gracia

Jaime Gracia serves as a key procurement lead within Acquisitions - AQM Momentum (19AQMM), a critical component of the U.S. Department of State responsible for securing mission-critical services that sustain diplomatic operations abroad. In this role, Gracia manages the acquisition lifecycle for technical, security, and infrastructure support contracts essential to the safety and operational continuity of U.S. embassies and consulates. Their work centers on procuring IT modernization solutions, facility-related services, and security systems aligned with global diplomatic priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Gracia maintains established relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including PBG Consulting, LLC, CGI Federal Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Pütz Security AG, and KADIAK LLC_DGI-ATI II LLC_PROPERTY & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing, combining global technical providers with specialized U.S.-based firms capable of delivering integrated security, IT, and facility management solutions in high-risk environments. The working relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance, performance-based acquisition strategies, and a preference for vendors with proven experience in overseas mission support. A defining feature of Gracia’s contracting portfolio is a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with nearly two-thirds of awards directed toward Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs in the national security procurement space. The remaining awards follow open competition, maintaining flexibility for specialized or sole-source requirements where WOSB capabilities are not viable. Gracia’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), underscoring deep expertise in digital infrastructure, data management systems, and bespoke software solutions that enable secure, scalable communication and operational platforms for diplomatic missions. Their procurement decisions prioritize secure, cloud-enabled, and interoperable technologies aligned with State Department cybersecurity standards.
