Filomena Gomez

Ms. Filomena Gomez supports the FA8726 AFLCMC HNK C3IN in executing mission-critical procurement activities for command, control, communications, intelligence, and network (C3IN) modernization initiatives under the Department of the Air Force. She plays a central role in acquiring advanced technical services that sustain and enhance expeditionary C3IN capabilities, with a focus on deployable communications systems, cloud-enabled productivity platforms, and AI-integrated analytics tools. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, performance-based contracts for systems engineering, research and development, and IT infrastructure modernization, ensuring interoperability across theater-level air and space operations. Gomez maintains a broad vendor engagement strategy, partnering with a diverse range of defense contractors and technology providers specializing in defense-grade networking, systems integration, and operational analytics. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms possessing DoD CMMC compliance, ITAR/EAR expertise, and experience in secure cloud environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, outcome-driven procurement models that prioritize innovation, rapid prototyping, and scalable solutions aligned with Air Force digital transformation objectives. Her procurement approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.1% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting the technical specificity and mission urgency of her requirements. However, she maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, with HUBZone set-asides accounting for 5.9% of awards, indicating targeted support for qualified firms in economically distressed areas. This balance underscores her alignment with federal contracting policy while prioritizing capability over socioeconomic classification. Gomez’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541614 (process and logistics consulting), 541715 and 541712 (physical and engineering R&D), 541512 (computer systems design), and 541330 (engineering services). She regularly acquires services related to network architecture, secure data analytics, AI/ML model development, and expeditionary communications systems, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-focused systems engineering and digital modernization domains.
