Gina Prasad

Gina Prasad serves as a Project Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the lifecycle sustainment of critical aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her responsibilities include overseeing the acquisition and integration of technical services essential to maintaining operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications networks, and global positioning infrastructure. She works closely with engineering and program management teams to define requirements, evaluate contractor performance, and ensure compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional and technical services contracts that support modernization, maintenance, and mission assurance for national security space and missile systems. Gina Prasad collaborates with a diverse range of professional services contractors specializing in systems engineering, technical analysis, and mission support for aerospace platforms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in space systems sustainment, signal processing, and command and control architecture integration. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that emphasize technical excellence, compliance with DoD standards, and agile delivery of mission-critical capabilities. Gina’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, consistent with the high-stakes, mission-critical nature of the systems she supports. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her procurement patterns, she remains aligned with broader Air Force goals to foster competition and innovation across the industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing systems engineering, technical advisory services, and sustainment support for space and missile platforms. She procures specialized services including satellite anomaly resolution, navigation system modernization, and secure communications infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of space operations, electronic warfare, and defense systems integration.
