Paige Pearson

Paige Pearson supports the Department of the Air Force’s Space Systems Command at the FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, managing procurement activities critical to sustaining national security space infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Responsible for acquiring services and materials that maintain operational readiness, Pearson oversees contracts involving facility maintenance, utilities systems, security enhancements, and specialized technical support. Her work ensures the physical and environmental resilience of launch and test sites, aligning acquisitions with strategic modernization goals for aging infrastructure. She handles a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical services under federal acquisition regulations, with a focus on mission-critical, non-commodity procurements. Pearson regularly collaborates with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure work, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance, TECH O. R., LLC for technical support services, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for specialized equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in defense-adjacent environments, often requiring security clearances, site-specific certifications, and experience working within restricted military installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and timely execution under high-stakes operational conditions. A strong advocate for small business participation, Pearson consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately 83% of her awards designated for small businesses. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster local economic resilience and leverage the agility of smaller firms in delivering tailored solutions for complex infrastructure needs. Her portfolio shows minimal use of large business set-asides, underscoring a commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals and broad-based vendor development. Her procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting; computer facilities management; glass product manufacturing; automotive repair and maintenance; and educational support services. These reflect the facility’s need for integrated infrastructure support, from climate control and IT systems to specialized maintenance and training support, demonstrating expertise in managing technically diverse, mission-critical acquisitions across multiple domains.
