Krissy R Hackstadt

Krissy R. Hackstadt serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of specialized air transportation services. Responsible for managing contract execution under NAICS 481211, she oversees nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation requirements critical to expeditionary logistics, rapid troop deployment, and theater access. Her work ensures the timely and secure movement of personnel and mission-critical cargo across austere and high-demand operational environments, aligning acquisitions with USTransCom’s strategic priorities in port and terminal sustainment and global air mobility. Hackstadt maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized aviation contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on experienced, niche providers capable of delivering on-demand, non-scheduled air transport under complex operational conditions. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational flexibility, often engaging vendors with proven track records in military and expeditionary air support. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on capability-driven selection rather than socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that mission-critical air mobility needs are met by the most qualified and operationally ready vendors regardless of business size or certification status. Hackstadt’s primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 481211, which encompasses nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation. She procures specialized aircraft services—including cargo, personnel transport, and medical evacuation support—operated by certified air carriers capable of operating in contested, remote, or unimproved environments. Her technical expertise lies in air mobility logistics, aircraft suitability for military operations, and compliance with DoD aviation safety and security standards.
