Rebeca A Gonzalez

Rebeca A. Gonzalez serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical training systems that enhance naval aviation readiness. Her portfolio focuses on the development, modernization, and sustainment of immersive simulation environments, tactical flight training platforms, and integrated avionics infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into compliant, performance-based contracts that align with Department of the Navy strategic priorities in crew readiness and digital modernization. Her acquisitions typically involve complex systems integration, software-defined training architectures, and curriculum-enabled simulation solutions. Rebeca maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industry partners including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide advanced flight training systems and synthetic environment solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based service delivery, and technical alignment with naval aviation standards. She frequently engages contractors with proven expertise in real-time simulation, embedded training software, and mission rehearsal systems, fostering partnerships grounded in technical rigor and operational relevance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85.1% of awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 14.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent inclusion of small businesses in broad-based competitions demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Rebeca’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction), reflecting her leadership in acquiring customized training systems and instructional services for naval aircrews. She also procures custom computer programming services (NAICS 541511) and professional technical services (NAICS 541990) to support software development, systems integration, and training curriculum design. Her domain expertise centers on simulation-based learning, avionics interoperability, and adaptive training technologies essential to modern naval aviation operations.
