Lrsw Cag

Lrsw Cag serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing guided missile systems, space vehicle platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. In this role, Cag manages the full lifecycle of complex defense acquisitions, focusing on technical sustainment, logistics support, and system modernization for aerospace and space-based assets. Their procurement activities center on ensuring operational readiness of global positioning systems, satellite communications networks, and advanced navigation payloads, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to maintain strategic superiority in contested domains. Cag’s contractor relationships are primarily with prime defense contractors specializing in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, including firms with deep expertise in propulsion systems, avionics integration, and space-rated hardware. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive contracts, emphasizing technical performance, schedule adherence, and mission-critical reliability. While no specific vendor names are available, the pattern indicates sustained engagement with a limited pool of qualified industrial base partners possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Cag’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under no set-aside conditions. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the systems procured, where technical capability and supply chain security take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. There is no indication of active use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, consistent with the classified and mission-critical nature of the work. The agency’s sole NAICS focus—336414, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—defines Cag’s technical domain, encompassing the procurement of missile guidance systems, orbital payload modules, radiation-hardened electronics, and ground support equipment. Expertise spans systems engineering, reliability testing, and space environment qualification, ensuring procurement decisions align with rigorous DoD technical standards for space and missile sustainment.
