Charlotte L. Rose serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she manages complex professional services acquisitions critical to sustaining Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and mission-critical analytics, ensuring the delivery of high-integrity technical support to defense programs. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—primarily under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and other flexible procurement vehicles designed to meet dynamic mission needs. Her role is pivotal in aligning contracting strategies with the Air Force’s modernization priorities and regulatory compliance standards. Rose maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established partners with deep technical expertise in research, management consulting, and defense-oriented analytics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures depending on risk and scope. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, consistent recompete cycles, and a focus on innovation delivery within strict security and compliance frameworks. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. While only 8.3% of her awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, she maintains compliance with all applicable socioeconomic programs and ensures fair opportunity for qualified small businesses when appropriate. Rose’s primary NAICS focus lies in administrative and general management consulting services (541611) and research and development in the social sciences and humanities (541720), underscoring her expertise in procuring strategic advisory, workforce planning, and policy analysis services. She also regularly acquires specialized technical support in cybersecurity, enterprise systems integration, and mission analytics, reflecting a domain-specific emphasis on data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency within defense ecosystems.
