Kristin Gomez

Kristin Gomez serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on systems engineering, command and control modernization, tactical computing environments, and cyber-enabled decision support services. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely procurement of advanced sensor, communication, and armored vehicle systems, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense technology integration and mission-critical infrastructure. Gomez maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized firms delivering high-end professional services in systems integration, technical consulting, and mission support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous compliance with FAR requirements, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in technical excellence and mission alignment. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with approximately 80% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation through targeted 8(a) competed awards and occasional Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, each accounting for roughly 5% of her portfolio. While not primarily set-aside driven, her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals within a predominantly unrestricted acquisition environment. Gomez’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a strong demand for technical advisory, systems engineering, and mission support services. She also regularly procures engineering services (541330) and specialized technical solutions tied to naval command systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-related professional services and mission-critical technology integration.
