Carol Roth

Carol Roth serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8206 AFSC PZACA (ICBM/Secondary) under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical components supporting the sustainment and operational readiness of intercontinental ballistic missile systems. Her work centers on securing specialized aerospace and defense-grade hardware essential to nuclear deterrence, including guided missile subsystems, auxiliary equipment, and high-reliability electronic components. She executes complex contract actions under strict security and compliance protocols, ensuring that technical specifications align with stringent DoD standards for safety, durability, and nuclear surety. Roth maintains enduring relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carleton Controls Corp, and Comark, LLC—firms known for their expertise in precision-engineered missile components, avionics integration, and high-stress environmental fabrication. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in classified aerospace manufacturing and long-term sustainment support, often involving sole-source or limited-competition actions due to the sensitive nature of the systems involved. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the majority remain open to all competitors. A small but intentional portion supports HUBZone firms, demonstrating a deliberate effort to leverage geographic economic development programs without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Roth’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 336419 (other guided missile and space vehicle parts), 336412 (aircraft engine and engine parts), and 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), underscoring her specialization in high-integrity mechanical and electronic subsystems. She routinely procures components requiring extreme environmental resilience, radiation hardening, and long-term storage stability—critical to maintaining the viability of legacy ICBM platforms under continuous operational alert conditions.
