Capt Todd Sullivan

Capt Todd Sullivan serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical aerospace and space-based defense systems. His work centers on ensuring the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and source selection to contract execution and performance monitoring—primarily for high-priority, mission-critical aerospace hardware and integrated command and control systems. His role is integral to maintaining the Air Force’s strategic advantage in space and missile sustainment operations. Capt Sullivan collaborates with a network of prime contractors specializing in guided missile manufacturing, space vehicle integration, and secure communications subsystems. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier-1 defense aerospace primes and niche system integrators possessing ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and classified facility clearances. His working relationships are characterized by long-term sustainment partnerships, technical collaboration on obsolescence management, and performance-based contracting frameworks designed to ensure system reliability under austere operational conditions. Capt Sullivan’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-asides. This reflects the highly specialized, technologically sensitive nature of the systems procured, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors possesses the requisite expertise, security clearances, and production capabilities. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through socioeconomic set-asides, the agency maintains compliance with all statutory reporting requirements and evaluates small business capabilities where technically feasible. His primary focus is on NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—encompassing the procurement of flight systems, guidance and control units, propulsion assemblies, and space-based sensor payloads. He routinely manages contracts for classified and unclassified space launch support, missile test instrumentation, and hardened satellite communication terminals, demonstrating deep technical fluency in defense aerospace engineering, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment planning.
