Lorraine Lewis-Wilson

Lorraine Lewis-Wilson serves as a Contracting Officer with the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition and sustainment of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. Her portfolio centers on the lifecycle support of guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system components, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contracting actions. She executes a full spectrum of procurement activities—from requirements definition and source selection to contract award and administration—primarily utilizing firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments for complex technical systems. Lewis-Wilson maintains strategic relationships with a network of specialized defense contractors and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers with deep expertise in missile guidance, space vehicle avionics, and command and control subsystems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages vendors with proven capabilities in high-reliability electronics, radiation-hardened components, and secure communications architectures. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and strict adherence to Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements for critical national security systems. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. This approach aligns with the mission-critical nature of the systems she supports, where performance and reliability take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary NAICS focus is 336419—Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—reflecting her deep specialization in procuring precision-engineered components for space and missile platforms. She routinely sources advanced subsystems including inertial navigation units, telemetry transceivers, and flight control electronics, demonstrating expertise in the technical domains of aerospace systems integration and defense logistics sustainment.
