Ashley M. Cucchiarelli

Ashley M. Cucchiarelli serves as a key procurement professional within the Space Systems Command’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical national security space infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility sustainment, technical support, and mission-enabling services essential to space launch and test operations. Her acquisitions span maintenance, utilities, security, and specialized engineering services, ensuring the physical and operational readiness of high-value defense assets. Cucchiarelli’s work directly aligns with the agency’s strategic imperative to modernize aging infrastructure while maintaining continuous mission capability under stringent security protocols. She maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and facility upgrades, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for mission-critical supply chain support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, reliable vendors capable of delivering specialized, on-site services under demanding operational conditions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and mission-critical reliability over volume-driven procurement. Cucchiarelli’s procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately 28.6% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors. This indicates a deliberate focus on enabling small business participation where capabilities align with mission needs, without compromising operational urgency or technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), complemented by significant activity in engineering services (541330), security and patrol services (561612), and computer facilities management (541513). She routinely procures integrated facility sustainment solutions, infrastructure modernization, and mission-specific technical support services critical to sustaining the Department of the Air Force’s space launch enterprise.
