Martin T Baca

Martin T. Baca serves as Contracts Manager for the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he oversees the acquisition and contract administration of critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Responsible for ensuring operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure, Baca manages complex, mission-critical contracts spanning engineering support, logistics modernization, and systems integration. His work directly supports the Air Force’s strategic imperative to maintain enduring superiority in space and precision strike capabilities through lifecycle sustainment of high-priority defense assets. Baca collaborates with a diverse array of defense contractors specializing in systems engineering, avionics modernization, and space vehicle sustainment. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier 1 defense primes and niche technical specialists possessing security clearances and domain expertise in space systems and missile sustainment. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, firm-fixed-price structures, and rigorous technical oversight to ensure mission-critical reliability and long-term affordability. Baca’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions competed without socioeconomic preferences, indicating a focus on technical capability, past performance, and mission necessity over socioeconomic categorization. This reflects the high-stakes, classified, and time-sensitive nature of the programs under his purview, where specialized expertise and proven systems integration capabilities take precedence over small business set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to aerospace defense systems, including systems integration for satellite communications, ground control station modernization, and guided munitions sustainment. Baca’s expertise centers on procuring advanced electronic warfare support, telemetry systems, and secure command-and-control infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical fluency in space and missile sustainment domains critical to national defense.
