Shimon B. Perez-Conde Gonzalez

Shimon B. Perez-Conde Gonzalez serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force dedicated to advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. In this role, he manages the acquisition of specialized technical systems essential to aerospace mission readiness, including avionics test platforms, electromagnetic compatibility equipment, and signal intelligence instrumentation. His procurement activities support the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness through precise measurement and control technologies. He handles a diverse portfolio of contracts ranging from engineering services to hardware integration, often requiring compliance with stringent military standards and technical specifications. Shimon maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in niche aerospace and defense applications, particularly in test equipment fabrication, signal processing, and facility infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical alignment, and performance history, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that ensure mission-critical system continuity. While the majority of his acquisitions—87.2%—are conducted without set-asides, Shimon maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 12.8% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad small business eligibility over specific categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a focus on capability over certification status. His primary NAICS focus areas include 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing), reflecting procurement of ruggedized test enclosures and sensor housings; 238210 (Electrical Contractors) for facility wiring and grounding systems; and 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers) for specialized component sourcing. These reflect a unique blend of defense-specific technical procurement and industrial supply chain management tailored to aerospace test environments.
