Taona D Enriquez

Taona D. Enriquez serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA4819 325th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the sustainment and modernization of critical Air Force infrastructure and aerospace systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions spanning facility construction, aviation component sourcing, and specialized sensing technologies, ensuring operational readiness across Air Force installations. Her acquisitions directly support mission-critical capabilities, including base resilience, communication modernization, and advanced avionics integration, aligning with the agency’s strategic priorities in infrastructure durability and technological innovation. Enriquez cultivates strategic partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including prime contractors specializing in aerospace manufacturing, analytical instrumentation, and site preparation services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing technical expertise in military-grade systems and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her working relationships reflect a balanced approach—leveraging established industry partners while actively fostering new entrants with proven capability in niche aerospace and defense domains. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly a quarter of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 7.7% dedicated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, her deliberate use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a proactive effort to expand opportunities for underrepresented and veteran-owned firms in high-technology defense sectors. Enriquez’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting her deep engagement with aviation subsystems and mission-critical components. She also regularly procures analytical laboratory instruments (334516) and supports facility modernization through site preparation contractors (238910). Her technical expertise spans aerospace engineering, sensor integration, and installation support services, positioning her as a key enabler of Air Force readiness through precise, compliant, and mission-aligned acquisitions.
