Gilroy-Based Small Business Honored By Aerospace Company Lockheed Martin

SOUTH BAY, CA -- A Gilroy business is one of 32 small business suppliers recognized by aerospace company Lockheed Martin for making significant contributions to its products and services, Lockheed Martin said May 2.

Ojeda’s Technical Solutions is one of just two Northern California companies recognized, with the other being Reynolds Systems, Inc. of Middletown. OTS co-founder and CEO Teresa Ojeda has 30-plus years of experience in the government and commercial industries.

Lockheed Martin has annually celebrated small business suppliers providing quality goods, services and support for over 20 years. Companies are selected based on a number of factors, including ability to consistently deliver reliable, quality parts, products, and services on time that meet contractual requirements at competitive prices, the ease of working with the supplier, the alignment of the supplier’s values with Lockheed Martin’s, and the supplier’s ability to solve problems.

“Lockheed Martin is fortunate to have incredible small business partners that help us produce superior defense systems and advanced technologies,” John Varley, vice president of global supply chain at Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control said in a statement. “We rely on these companies every day and are glad to recognize their commitment to quality and accountability to help our industry team deliver innovative solutions to our customers.”
