Victoria L. Diaz

Victoria L. Diaz serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions across technical and engineering domains, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing mission-critical capabilities. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—focusing on high-value, science- and technology-driven requirements. Her work supports the agency’s strategic objectives by securing innovative solutions through competitive, transparent processes that emphasize accountability and efficiency in federal spending. While specific contractor names are not available, Diaz maintains a robust network of vendors specializing in research and development, custom software, aerospace components, and electronic manufacturing. Her procurement approach fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear statement of work definitions. She actively engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure technical excellence and supply chain resilience across her portfolio. Diaz demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Her consistent use of set-asides underscores a dedication to promoting economic inclusion and expanding the federal contracting base among underrepresented small businesses. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences), 541511 (custom computer programming), 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), and 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing). She routinely acquires advanced technical services, prototype development, embedded systems, and mission-critical hardware, demonstrating deep expertise in engineering innovation and information technology domains. Her work bridges the gap between emerging technologies and operational readiness, ensuring federal programs remain at the forefront of scientific and technical advancement.
