Mayte Diaz-Dreyer

Mayte Diaz-Dreyer serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. She oversees the acquisition of advanced research and development services essential to maintaining operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications networks, and global positioning infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure the resilience and technological superiority of national defense assets through timely, technically rigorous contract actions focused on engineering innovation and systems sustainment. Diaz-Dreyer collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in aerospace engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical software development. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in space domain awareness, signal processing, and secure command and control architectures. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations that prioritize technical innovation and lifecycle support over commoditized solutions. Her procurement strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical capability, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic classification criteria. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where she procures advanced engineering services including systems modeling, radar signature analysis, space vehicle sustainment, and secure data link development. Her expertise lies in contracting for high-fidelity simulation environments, embedded systems engineering, and next-generation navigation technologies critical to Air Force and Space Force operational dominance.
