Brandon A Sandoval

Brandon A. Sandoval serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in securing and managing acquisitions essential to the sustainment and modernization of aerospace and space-based defense systems. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for guided missile systems, space vehicle platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. Sandoval’s work directly supports operational readiness across global positioning, satellite communications, and advanced navigation assets, ensuring mission-critical capabilities remain resilient and technologically current through disciplined contract execution and risk mitigation. Sandoval collaborates with a diverse array of prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in defense aerospace engineering, systems integration, and mission assurance services. While specific vendor names are not publicly enumerated, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier-1 defense primes and specialized technical firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance credentials. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical oversight, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term partnerships rooted in accountability and mission alignment. Sandoval’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business policies and may incorporate small business subcontracting goals as required by contract clauses. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in complex defense systems including propulsion, guidance, telemetry, and orbital sustainment technologies. Sandoval routinely procures high-assurance hardware, ruggedized electronics, and mission-critical software systems designed for extreme environments, demonstrating specialized knowledge in space and missile systems acquisition lifecycle management.
