Latoria R. Glover

Latoria R. Glover serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, supporting the development and integration of advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages acquisitions critical to aerospace mission readiness, focusing on avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms. Her work ensures the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure by securing specialized hardware, calibration systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. Glover’s portfolio emphasizes technical procurement aligned with DoD standards for electromagnetic compatibility, data acquisition, and real-time control systems, ensuring operational readiness across classified and unclassified aerospace programs. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of niche engineering firms and specialized manufacturers capable of delivering custom test equipment, ruggedized enclosures, signal conditioning hardware, and facility integration services. Her contracting approach favors established vendors with proven technical capabilities in aerospace-grade systems, often requiring ITAR compliance and secure supply chain protocols. Glover’s procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with approximately 67% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating nearly 26% of contracts as total small business set-asides and approximately 7% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a balanced commitment to both mission-critical performance and socioeconomic goals under FAR 19.5. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and aeronautical systems manufacturing, alongside specialized work in electronic component manufacturing (334419) and industrial machinery repair (811310). She routinely procures precision test instrumentation, signal processing modules, and mission-specific control systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in aerospace test and evaluation domains.
