Alan R. Mak

Alan R. Mak serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure, including guided missile components, satellite communications systems, and command, control, and communications (C3) platforms. His acquisitions directly support operational readiness across global defense networks, with a focus on technical solutions that ensure the integrity and longevity of national security assets. Mak routinely handles complex, high-stakes contracts requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Mak’s procurement patterns reflect engagement with a diverse pool of defense-industrial base vendors, including prime contractors specializing in aerospace systems integration and niche suppliers of space-grade hardware. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, technical risk mitigation, and long-term sustainment partnerships, often involving firms with clearance-level expertise and experience in classified space and missile programs. Mak demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of his acquisitions conducted as full and open competition and 25% awarded through the 8(a) Business Development Program. This balanced approach supports both mission-critical capability acquisition and the strategic growth of small, disadvantaged businesses capable of delivering specialized aerospace and engineering services. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336419 (guided missile and space vehicle parts manufacturing), 541512 (computer systems design), 541712 (physical and engineering R&D), and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction). These categories reflect his domain expertise in integrating advanced electronics, software systems, and facility infrastructure to sustain next-generation space and missile platforms, ensuring technical interoperability and long-term operational resilience.
