Monterey was founded more than twenty seven years ago by Gary Muñoz, whose entrepreneurial spirit was shaped by a family legacy of resilience and hard work. After retiring from the United States Air Force and gaining experience with several defense contractors, he launched Monterey in 1997 and earned the company’s first contract that same year. What began as a small, service driven firm has grown into an established professional services company supporting federal, state, and local clients across the country. Monterey’s growth has been guided by a strong commitment to integrity, reliability, and mission focused support.
Today, Monterey is led by three service disabled veterans who previously served as United States Air Force contracting officers. They bring decades of procurement and acquisition experience to the organization, along with a shared belief in public service and disciplined execution. Their leadership has shaped Monterey into a company known for its client centered approach, investment in its people, and ability to deliver practical, results oriented solutions for complex government missions.
Monterey’s Acquisition Services Division reflects this history and expertise. The division has expanded into a team of thirty six professionals, with more than thirty coming from Department of Defense and Air Force contracting backgrounds. These specialists support state and federal agencies by assisting with procurement planning, developing solicitations, managing contract execution, and evaluating contractor performance. As an embedded partner to the agencies we serve, the division continues to grow its footprint while providing dependable, knowledgeable, and mission aligned acquisition support.
