Irma Seferi

Irma Seferi serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a critical role in acquiring research, development, and engineering services essential to sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her procurement portfolio centers on advanced technical solutions for guided missile sustainment, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness of national security-critical platforms. She manages complex acquisition cycles under FAR and DFARS guidelines, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to align contract requirements with evolving mission needs in space and electronic warfare domains. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Seferi maintains a balanced procurement approach, engaging both large defense primes and innovative small businesses with specialized technical capabilities in aerospace systems engineering. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, technical risk mitigation, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, innovation, and mission alignment. Seferi exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between total small business set-asides and unrestricted competitions under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, frequently awarding contracts to small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned small businesses, and other qualified small business concerns, reinforcing the Air Force’s mandate to broaden the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—reflecting deep expertise in engineering services for defense systems. She procures advanced R&D services including systems integration, signal processing, telemetry analysis, and software-defined radio technologies, supporting the sustainment and enhancement of space-based command, control, and communications architectures critical to U.S. air and space superiority.
