Alejandro Capristan

Alejandro Capristan serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8807 Military Commission and PNT SSC/CGK, part of the Department of Defense’s Space Systems Command. He is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical space-based systems, including protected satellite communications, precision navigation and timing (PNT) architectures, and guided missile and space vehicle subsystems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure assured access to space and enable resilient military operations through advanced space technologies. Capristan typically handles complex, mission-critical contracts involving systems engineering, integration, and sustainment of classified and unclassified space platforms, often requiring stringent compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and cybersecurity standards. He maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading defense aerospace contractors, primarily Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC and Liberty Communications, Inc., both of which provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical hardware for space and missile systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities in high-assurance space environments, indicating a focus on reliability, performance, and long-term sustainment over rapid turnover of vendors. Capristan’s portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified industrial providers regardless of business size or certification status. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—demonstrating deep specialization in the design, development, and production of advanced space and missile systems. He procures end-to-end solutions including satellite payloads, secure communication terminals, PNT sensors, and guidance subsystems, requiring expertise in RF systems, anti-jam technologies, and space-hardened electronics.
