Luis Fraguada

Luis Fraguada serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2293 Afnwc Pzhs, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing secure military communications infrastructure. He manages acquisitions for advanced satellite communications systems, terminal modernization programs, and strategic messaging platforms, with a primary focus on the Family of Advanced Beyond Line-of-Sight Terminals (FAB-T). His role ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities that enhance interoperability, resilience, and cybersecurity across airborne and ground-based command and control networks. Fraguada’s portfolio centers on complex, high-technology procurements requiring rigorous systems engineering and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Fraguada’s procurement activity consistently engages with defense primes and specialized electronics manufacturers capable of delivering secure, ruggedized communications hardware and embedded systems. He works with vendors possessing ITAR compliance, TS/SCI clearance eligibility, and proven experience in military-grade RF and baseband technologies. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with demonstrated success in rapid prototyping, field deployment, and lifecycle support of tactical communications equipment. Fraguada’s acquisition strategy exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his procurements classified as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though small business participation remains possible through unrestricted competitions where firms meet stringent performance criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220, targeting the manufacture of military-grade radio and wireless communications equipment, alongside 334419 for specialized electronic components and 811210 for precision repair and maintenance of field-deployed terminals. He specializes in procuring secure satellite terminals, waveform-enabled radios, hardened baseband processors, and encrypted messaging systems essential to next-generation tactical communications.
