Roberto J. Gotay

Roberto J. Gotay serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-orlando office under the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization of military training systems and defense technology integration. He manages a portfolio of technical services contracts focused on enhancing operational readiness through advanced engineering, simulation infrastructure, and mission command capabilities. His acquisitions primarily support live-fire training modernization, aviation and artillery systems development, and educational support services critical to soldier readiness. Gotay operates within a high-technical-demand environment, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense innovation and training system evolution. Gotay maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of defense technology contractors, including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships are centered on specialized engineering services, systems integration, and technical support for complex military training platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven expertise in simulation modeling, mission command architecture, and aviation systems sustainment. These relationships reflect a pattern of long-term, mission-critical collaboration rather than transactional procurement. Gotay’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, non-commoditized expertise in advanced defense systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the nature of the work often attracts mid-tier and large defense contractors with the scale and security clearance required for sensitive programs. The primary NAICS categories under Gotay’s purview are 561210 (Facilities Support Services), reflecting the management of training range infrastructure and logistics; 611710 (Educational Support Services), supporting soldier training curriculum and simulation-based instruction; and niche codes such as 488119 and 532112, which support ancillary operational needs. His technical domain expertise lies in integrating live, virtual, and constructive training environments, with a focus on scalable, interoperable systems that enhance force readiness across multiple domains.
