Farah Surin

Farah Surin supports critical procurement operations for the FA2550 50 Cons Pkp under the Department of the Air Force, specializing in the acquisition of advanced aerospace and space domain systems. She manages contracts for mission-critical instrumentation, satellite communications infrastructure, and precision electronic testing equipment essential to national defense operations. Her work ensures the sustainment and modernization of ground- and space-based systems, including radio and wireless networks, signal analysis tools, and embedded computing platforms. Surin operates within a high-stakes technical environment where reliability, interoperability, and cybersecurity are paramount, coordinating with technical stakeholders to align acquisitions with operational requirements for space and air superiority. Her primary contractor relationships include Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC, suggesting a mix of non-traditional and potentially administrative or support-focused vendors. While these partnerships may reflect indirect or non-technical procurement needs, they indicate a broader operational scope beyond core defense contractors, possibly encompassing facility services, logistics, or ancillary support functions critical to mission readiness. Surin’s contracting pattern reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business engagement. The remaining two-thirds are competed without set-asides, indicating a preference for open competition when technical complexity or scale demands broader market participation. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 334515 for electrical measurement and testing instruments, with significant activity in telephone apparatus manufacturing (334210), computer and peripheral wholesaling (423430), electronic computer manufacturing (334111), and ordnance accessories production (332994). This blend underscores expertise in procuring both commercial-off-the-shelf and specialized defense-grade electronics, reflecting a deep understanding of the convergence between commercial technology and military-grade systems in modern aerospace operations.
