Kristine A. Lundblad

Kristine A. Lundblad serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. She manages acquisition programs focused on mission-critical infrastructure, including guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure. Her role centers on ensuring operational readiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions that align with national defense priorities. She typically handles complex, multi-year contracts requiring deep technical oversight and lifecycle sustainment expertise, often involving specialized hardware, control systems, and mission-critical software integrations. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Lundblad’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and niche manufacturers capable of supporting highly specialized aerospace and space systems. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability, supply chain resilience, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering partnerships with firms that can deliver precision-engineered components and sustainment services under stringent defense standards. Lundblad demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 8.3% allocated to HUBZone firms. Her approach reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and geographically targeted vendors, reinforcing DoD’s broader goals for inclusive procurement and industrial base diversity. Her primary NAICS focus areas include hazardous waste treatment, air and gas compressor manufacturing, measuring and controlling device production, roofing contractors, and information services—indicating a broad sustainment scope that extends beyond core aerospace systems to include facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and ancillary technical support. This diversified portfolio underscores her role in ensuring holistic readiness across both mission systems and supporting infrastructure.
