Jose Gamboa

Jose Gamboa serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization and sustainment of critical aerial and missile defense systems. He manages complex acquisitions for aerospace components, avionics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical support services essential to platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. His work directly enables the Army’s operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability hardware and technical services aligned with current and future force modernization priorities. Gamboa’s portfolio emphasizes technical rigor and compliance with defense acquisition regulations, focusing on contracts requiring stringent performance, testing, and supply chain integrity. Gamboa maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of aerospace and defense contractors specializing in aircraft subsystems, sensor integration, and propulsion technologies. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages with Tier 1 system integrators, niche manufacturers of avionics components, and specialized engineering firms capable of meeting military specifications such as MIL-STD-810 and DO-160. His contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that support sustained operational readiness across multiple programs. Gamboa’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of acquisitions issued as no set-aside awards. The remaining 8.3% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business opportunities that align with technical requirements and market capacity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in airframe subsystems, flight control actuators, and engine components. He also procures communications equipment and motor-generator systems critical to platform power and data architecture, underscoring his technical command over integrated aerospace systems.
