Laureli A Mazik

Laureli A. Mazik serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical aerospace and space-based sustainment capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system components, ensuring operational readiness of national defense assets. Her portfolio encompasses sole-source, competitive, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts, often involving advanced electronics, secure data links, and mission-critical software integration. Mazik’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain high-priority space and missile systems essential to U.S. air and space superiority. Her contractor relationships span Tier 1 defense primes and specialized systems integrators with proven expertise in space domain awareness, secure RF communications, and embedded avionics. She routinely engages with vendors possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance, prioritizing those with demonstrated experience in sustaining legacy and next-generation space platforms. Mazik fosters long-term partnerships with contractors who maintain robust quality assurance programs and can deliver rapid sustainment support under dynamic operational requirements. Mazik’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. While she does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she actively evaluates small businesses as subcontractors and encourages participation through mentorship and teaming arrangements, aligning with broader Air Force goals for industrial base resilience. Her technical focus centers on NAICS categories related to aerospace product and parts manufacturing, defense electronics, and satellite communications services. She specializes in procuring hardened hardware, secure navigation payloads, ground control systems, and mission assurance services for space-based assets, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD acquisition regulations and technical specifications governing space system sustainment.
