Julia Hansen

Julia Hansen 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 acquisition lifecycle for critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Responsible for technical oversight and contract execution, she ensures the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications architectures, and global positioning infrastructure. Her acquisitions primarily focus on research and development initiatives that enhance the performance, reliability, and modernization of national defense space and missile platforms, bridging technical requirements with procurement strategy to meet urgent operational needs. Julia collaborates with a diverse range of defense contractors specializing in advanced systems engineering, signal processing, and space vehicle sustainment. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with prime contractors possessing deep expertise in classified aerospace technologies, systems integration, and mission-critical software development. She fosters long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-assurance, low-latency solutions for space and missile domains, emphasizing technical compliance, risk mitigation, and lifecycle support. Julia’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical requirements where specialized technical capabilities and security clearances outweigh socioeconomic preferences, resulting in a procurement environment focused on capability over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where she sources advanced engineering services for radar signature analysis, space-based sensor modernization, and secure command and control systems. She specializes in procuring R&D deliverables that transition from prototype to operational deployment, requiring deep domain expertise in electronic warfare, orbital mechanics, and secure data links for national security space systems.
