Justin Massa

Justin Massa serves as a key procurement lead within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He oversees the procurement of high-assurance telecom systems, including secure virtual private networks, fiber-optic connectivity, and resilient network services essential to military operations. His work directly supports DISA’s mandate to sustain interoperable, high-capacity communications across deployed and garrisoned forces, with a focus on replacing legacy systems and enforcing cybersecurity compliance in all contracted solutions. Massa maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized vendors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These contractors are selected for their proven expertise in delivering classified and unclassified telecom infrastructure, network modernization, and secure transport services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with demonstrated capability in DoD-compliant network architectures, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and performance-based service contracts to ensure operational continuity and scalability. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 86.7% of awards issued under no set-aside authority, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of required capabilities. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 13.3% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission readiness. This balance ensures access to innovative solutions while maintaining the reliability demanded by national defense telecommunications. While specific NAICS codes are not available, Massa’s portfolio centers on advanced telecommunications services, including managed network operations, fiber deployment, satellite communications integration, and secure data transport. His technical domain expertise spans DoD-wide telecom standards, cybersecurity frameworks like NIST SP 800-53, and DoDIN architecture requirements, ensuring all acquisitions align with the Department’s strategic vision for resilient, next-generation communications.
