Lorenzo Aragon

Lorenzo Aragon serves as the primary procurement lead for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Information Technology Services division, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical digital infrastructure to support wildlife conservation, real-time environmental monitoring, and law enforcement operations across federal protected lands. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on secure data systems, field-deployable technology, and cybersecurity-enabling services that underpin the agency’s digital ecosystem. His acquisitions prioritize interoperable platforms for wildlife tracking, habitat analysis, and remote sensor networks, ensuring compliance with federal information security standards and operational resilience in remote environments. Aragon maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including INALAB CONSULTING, INC., OCLC, INC., UNIVERCELLS TECHNOLOGIES, REAL TIME RESEARCH, INC., and RIEGL USA, INC. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in custom software development, geospatial data systems, wireless communications hardware, and security operations. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based deliverables, often requiring rigorous testing in field-deployed conditions to ensure reliability under harsh environmental conditions. Aragon’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.2% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. However, he maintains a deliberate 7.8% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently supporting qualified small businesses that demonstrate specialized competency in environmental IT and secure communications. His primary NAICS focus includes Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Computer Systems Design Services (541512), with significant activity in Security Systems Services (561621) and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334220). He procures tailored software solutions, embedded systems for field sensors, secure data transmission platforms, and integrated cybersecurity frameworks that enable real-time environmental intelligence and law enforcement coordination across dispersed federal lands.
