Eileen Castro

Eileen Castro serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility sustainment, utilities maintenance, security services, and specialized technical support essential to national security space missions. Her work ensures the physical and operational integrity of launch pads, control systems, and supporting infrastructure through strategic contract execution aligned with Air Force and Space Systems Command priorities. Castro maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and infrastructure upgrades, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for mission-critical supply chain solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering high-reliability services in austere, security-sensitive environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over 64% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity among small, locally-based firms while ensuring access to niche capabilities critical to facility sustainment. She consistently leverages socioeconomic programs to expand vendor diversity without compromising mission readiness. Castro’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), with additional emphasis on environmental consulting, septic system maintenance, and specialized office equipment procurement. Her expertise lies in integrating technical, environmental, and security requirements into integrated facility support contracts, ensuring compliance with DoD standards while maintaining continuous operational capability at high-priority space infrastructure sites.
