Angelica Armenta

Angelica R. Armenta serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning technology. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities of operational readiness and technological advancement. Armenta typically handles high-stakes, technically demanding contracts requiring specialized engineering and logistics expertise. Armenta collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including prime systems integrators, aerospace defense manufacturers, and technical consultants specializing in space and missile sustainment. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in guided missile lifecycle support, space vehicle maintenance, and mission-critical logistics. Her working relationships are characterized by technical rigor, performance-based contract management, and a focus on long-term sustainment outcomes rather than transactional procurement. Armenta’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified technical providers to meet the Air Force’s demanding performance standards. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures competitive fairness and technical excellence across all vendor categories. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 336414 (guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in advanced aerospace R&D, systems engineering, and mission-critical manufacturing. She also regularly procures logistics consulting services under NAICS 541614 and transportation support under 488999, demonstrating a holistic approach to sustaining space and missile systems across their full lifecycle.
