Jason Lo

Jason Lo serves as Contract Manager for FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL within the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition and lifecycle management of critical aerospace and space-based sustainment services. His role is central to ensuring the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure. He manages complex, technically demanding contracts for engineering support, systems integration, and technical consulting services essential to maintaining national security space capabilities. His procurement portfolio is focused on long-term sustainment rather than new development, emphasizing reliability, traceability, and mission-critical performance standards. Jason works with a broad range of defense contractors specializing in technical consulting and systems sustainment, including firms with deep expertise in space systems engineering, signal integrity, and command and control architecture modernization. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors possessing DoD clearance, ISO 9001 certification, and proven experience in aerospace sustainment environments. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor accountability under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures. Jason’s procurement patterns reflect a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as no set-aside. This underscores a mission-driven focus on accessing the broadest possible talent pool to meet highly specialized technical requirements, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he remains open to qualified small businesses that demonstrate technical excellence and systems sustainment credibility. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 541690 — Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services — encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, maintenance planning, and lifecycle support for space and missile systems. He procures specialized services including satellite health monitoring, navigation system diagnostics, and secure communications sustainment, requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace engineering and defense acquisition regulations.
