Quentin Fields

Quentin Fields serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2541 SSC Commercial Services Office, part of the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for acquiring commercial satellite telecommunications services critical to national defense operations. His role centers on securing resilient, high-capacity space-based communications to support airborne, ground, and space-based platforms, ensuring uninterrupted command and control, intelligence sharing, and global mobility. He manages complex acquisition strategies for commercial satellite capacity, ground station infrastructure, and associated technical services, often coordinating with cross-functional teams to align contracting actions with emerging operational requirements in contested electromagnetic environments. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Quentin maintains strategic relationships with a diverse pool of commercial satellite service providers, integrators, and systems engineering firms. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven contracts that emphasize service availability, latency metrics, and cyber-resilient architectures. He frequently engages with vendors capable of delivering end-to-end satellite communications solutions, including managed services, bandwidth leasing, and secure waveform integration, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical innovation and mission adaptability. Quentin’s contracting portfolio shows a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a mission-critical focus on securing the highest-performing commercial capabilities without constraints, prioritizing technical superiority and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. His approach aligns with the urgency of national security space requirements, where speed, scalability, and proven performance outweigh traditional small business targeting criteria. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), with significant activity in 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), 541690 (Scientific and Technical Consulting), 336414 (Space Vehicle Manufacturing), and 481212 (Nonscheduled Air Freight). He specializes in acquiring secure satellite bandwidth, ground terminal systems, network management software, and mission-specific engineering support, demonstrating deep expertise in commercial space systems integration and defense communications architecture.
