Dana Justice

Dana Justice serves as a key procurement lead at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, supporting the development and integration of advanced propulsion systems and mission-critical space vehicle technologies. Responsible for managing complex acquisition strategies aligned with the Center’s deep space exploration goals, Justice oversees contracts for process, physical distribution, and logistics consulting services that enable end-to-end mission readiness. Their work directly supports the design, testing, and operationalization of next-generation rocket engines and real-time data infrastructure essential for Moon-to-Mars architecture development, ensuring that technical and logistical requirements are met through compliant, high-integrity contracting practices. Justice maintains consistent partnerships with specialized contractors including Bastion Technologies Inc. and Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, both of which provide high-level engineering support, systems integration, and mission logistics consulting. These relationships reflect a preference for established technical service providers with proven expertise in aerospace propulsion systems, computational modeling, and mission-critical supply chain coordination. The working pattern is characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize technical precision, compliance with NASA standards, and seamless alignment with flight hardware development cycles. Justice’s procurement portfolio shows a 100% focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a deliberate emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, the agency maintains open competition to ensure the most qualified vendors—regardless of size—are selected based on technical merit and mission alignment. The primary NAICS category under Justice’s purview is 541614, reflecting an exclusive focus on process, physical distribution, and logistics consulting services. This specialization supports the optimization of complex supply chains, test facility logistics, and mission planning workflows critical to propulsion testing and deep space mission readiness, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace systems integration and operational logistics.
