Patricia Gilmore

Patricia Gilmore serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Her procurement portfolio centers on high-precision analytical instruments, electromedical and electrotherapeutic devices, and industrial measurement systems essential for flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting airpower readiness through technologically advanced, laboratory-grade equipment procurement. Gilmore maintains a consistent working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a key vendor specializing in the supply of specialized analytical and measurement instrumentation. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, performance history, and adherence to stringent military specifications. She engages primarily with established manufacturers capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and ISO 17025 standards, and frequently collaborates with suppliers possessing deep domain expertise in aerospace-grade instrumentation. Her contracting patterns reflect a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no current preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the specialized, low-supplier-base nature of the equipment she procures, where technical capability and certification outweigh socioeconomic criteria in source selection. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all acquisitions remain fully compliant with FAR Part 19 requirements. Gilmore’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), followed by 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 339112–339113 (Surgical and Medical Instrumentation). She routinely acquires mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, electrotherapeutic units, and semiconductor-based sensor systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in instrumentation used for aerospace diagnostics, environmental compliance, and medical readiness applications.
