Paige Foreman

Paige Foreman serves as a key procurement professional at NASA Glenn Research Center, supporting the agency’s mission to advance next-generation aeronautics and space propulsion technologies. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on high-efficiency thermal and fluid systems, advanced materials for extreme environments, and fission surface power systems for lunar and planetary missions. Her acquisitions primarily support foundational research and systems development, bridging engineering innovation with operational readiness. Foreman handles complex technical procurements requiring deep domain expertise in aerospace instrumentation, cryogenic systems, and mission-critical power architectures, ensuring alignment with NASA’s strategic technology roadmaps. She maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including Troy Sierra JV LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and Electronic Fluorocarbons, LLC, all of which provide niche engineering, materials, and thermal management solutions critical to Glenn’s experimental and flight-ready systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for technically capable small and mid-tier vendors with proven capabilities in high-reliability aerospace components and proprietary fluid systems. Foreman’s contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to support sustained innovation cycles. Foreman exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open to full and open competition, she actively prioritizes small businesses with specialized expertise in aerospace engineering, thermal systems, and scientific consulting, fostering a diverse supplier base that enhances innovation and resilience in critical technology domains. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 333415 for advanced heating, cooling, and refrigeration equipment; NAICS 541712 and 541715 for physical and engineering research and development; and NAICS 541690 for scientific and technical consulting. These categories reflect her expertise in acquiring cutting-edge propulsion subsystems, thermal control architectures, and mission-specific analytical services essential to NASA’s deep space exploration goals.
