Capt Miki Adachi

Capt Miki Adachi serves as Contracts Manager for the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical aerospace and space-based sustainment capabilities. Responsible for ensuring operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications networks, and global positioning infrastructure, Capt Adachi leads the planning, solicitation, and award of engineering services contracts aligned with national defense priorities. Her role is central to maintaining the technical integrity and modernization of high-priority space and missile systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities on schedule. Capt Adachi collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in systems engineering, technical analysis, and sustainment support for space and missile platforms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in aerospace systems integration, signal processing, and command and control architecture. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment partnerships, fostering relationships with vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-essential engineering solutions under strict security and compliance protocols. Capt Adachi’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technical requirements and the limited pool of qualified vendors capable of supporting classified aerospace and space systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, she ensures fair and open competition that allows all qualified firms—regardless of size—to compete on technical merit and past performance. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical integration, test and evaluation, and sustainment support for space-based assets. She procures services related to satellite constellation maintenance, GPS modernization, secure communications infrastructure, and missile system life-cycle support, requiring contractors with deep domain expertise in aerospace engineering, RF systems, and DoD compliance frameworks.
