Anita Wallace

Anita Wallace serves as Program Manager for the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she oversees the lifecycle sustainment and modernization of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. Her role encompasses the end-to-end management of technical acquisitions for guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness through strategic contract execution. She leads the planning, solicitation, and award of engineering services contracts aligned with Air Force Space Command’s long-term modernization objectives, working closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements and evaluate contractor performance. Anita Wallace collaborates with a broad network of defense contractors specializing in systems engineering, mission assurance, and sustainment support for space and missile platforms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, signal processing, and command and control architecture modernization. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, firm-fixed-price arrangements that emphasize technical innovation, reliability, and long-term sustainment outcomes. Ms. Wallace’s procurement strategy reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her focus remains on technical capability and mission-critical performance, prioritizing vendor qualifications over socioeconomic classifications. This approach ensures the highest standards of system reliability for national security applications. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, test and evaluation, and sustainment planning for space and missile systems. She routinely procures services related to satellite constellation maintenance, secure communications integration, and navigation system upgrades, demonstrating deep expertise in space domain sustainment and defense-critical engineering disciplines.
