John E. Alfred-Ockiya

John E. Alfred-Ockiya serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. His portfolio centers on sustaining and modernizing guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning technology. As a key procurement lead, he executes full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring operational readiness of high-priority space and air dominance capabilities. He specializes in complex, technically demanding procurements requiring stringent compliance with defense acquisition regulations and systems engineering standards. John works primarily with prime contractors and systems integrators specializing in radio frequency, wireless communications, and satellite payload technologies. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with defense-industrial base vendors possessing deep expertise in RF component manufacturing, signal processing, and secure command and control architectures. His working relationships are characterized by rigorous technical oversight, performance-based contracting, and close collaboration with engineering and logistics teams to align acquisition outcomes with mission-critical requirements. John’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. He does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, reflecting the classified, high-performance, and mission-critical nature of the systems he procures. His approach prioritizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and rapid delivery over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the operational tempo and security constraints of Air Force space and missile sustainment missions. His primary focus is NAICS 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—where he acquires advanced transceivers, secure data links, satellite terminals, and embedded communication subsystems. His technical domain expertise spans RF hardware, phased array antennas, and space-qualified electronics, ensuring procurement decisions align with evolving threats and next-generation space architecture requirements.
