Tina Lopez

Tina Lopez serves as a key procurement professional within the 0410 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization and sustainment of mission-critical military communications, information technology, and facility infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on secure wireless systems, tactical software development, and the maintenance of specialized electronic and industrial equipment essential to operational readiness. Her role ensures alignment with DoD directives for resilient command and control environments, coordinating contract execution across technical, logistical, and cybersecurity domains to meet evolving battlefield requirements. Lopez cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, primarily small businesses and niche service providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in niche technical areas. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, responsive vendors with proven expertise in military-grade systems integration, industrial maintenance, and custom software development. She engages with contractors who can rapidly adapt to field-deployed requirements, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and lifecycle support over commoditized procurement. Her procurement strategy is heavily skewed toward small business participation, with 88.9% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering economic opportunity through socioeconomic contracting, routinely awarding contracts to 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her approach ensures broad vendor diversity while strengthening the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting practices. Lopez’s primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance (811310), computer systems design services (541512), and landscaping services (561730), alongside specialized procurements in office furniture manufacturing and independent creative services. This eclectic mix underscores her role in sustaining both operational infrastructure and ancillary support functions critical to garrison and field readiness, demonstrating expertise in balancing high-tech IT needs with foundational facility and equipment maintenance requirements.
