Darren B. Fullo

Darren Fullo serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. In this role, he manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical capabilities including guided missile sustainment, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system modernization. His responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contract actions—from initial requirements definition through award and performance oversight—ensuring technical alignment with operational readiness goals. He primarily handles complex, high-stakes procurements involving advanced avionics, command and control systems, and space-based sensor platforms, often requiring specialized engineering and cybersecurity compliance. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Fullo’s procurement pattern suggests engagement with a diverse pool of defense contractors, including prime systems integrators, niche aerospace suppliers, and IT service providers capable of supporting classified and mission-critical environments. His approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based contracting, fostering partnerships with vendors possessing proven expertise in space domain awareness, secure communications, and aerospace sustainment. Fullo demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 25% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while 75% remain open to all competitors. This balanced approach supports broad market participation while ensuring competitive rigor. Though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are indicated, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base. His procurement focus is concentrated in four key NAICS categories: 541519 (other computer-related services), 511210 (software publishing), 336411 (aircraft manufacturing), and 541213 (tax preparation services)—the latter likely reflecting administrative or financial system support rather than core mission functions. His technical domain expertise lies in integrating commercial IT solutions with defense aerospace systems, ensuring interoperability, cybersecurity resilience, and lifecycle sustainability across space and missile platforms.
