Mildred Aurora Vigil

Mildred Aurora Vigil serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions in support of aviation training and flight education programs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing competitive and transparent contracting processes that align with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 611512—Flight Training—where she procures services ranging from pilot certification programs and simulator-based instruction to curriculum development and flight operations support. Vigil plays a critical role in translating operational training needs into legally sound, performance-based contracts that deliver high-quality aviation education outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available in current records, Vigil maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem that includes both large aviation training providers and small businesses certified under federal socioeconomic programs. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair competition and long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and service excellence. She routinely engages with firms possessing specialized expertise in flight instruction, aviation safety compliance, and federal training standards, fostering relationships built on accountability and regulatory adherence. Vigil demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for half of her awarded contracts and an equal share of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. This balanced approach reflects her strategic use of socioeconomic tools to expand market access while maintaining procurement flexibility. Her consistent reliance on HUBZone set-asides signals a deliberate effort to stimulate economic development in historically underserved rural and inner-city communities through targeted contracting. Her technical expertise centers entirely on flight training services under NAICS 611512, where she specializes in procuring both manned and simulated flight instruction, aviation safety training, and related educational support systems. Vigil’s deep familiarity with FAA certification requirements and DoD training frameworks enables her to craft precise statements of work and evaluate technical proposals with precision, ensuring that contracted services meet rigorous aviation standards and operational readiness goals.
