Ramona C Romo-Garza

Ramona C. Romo-Garza serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for guided missile systems, space vehicle platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic mission to maintain operational readiness of national defense assets. Romo-Garza primarily handles complex, technical procurements requiring deep engineering and systems integration expertise, often involving long-term sustainment and modernization efforts. Romo-Garza collaborates with a specialized ecosystem of defense contractors and systems integrators experienced in aerospace sustainment, including prime vendors with proven track records in missile system life-cycle support, satellite component manufacturing, and space vehicle maintenance. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical proficiency, performance-based contracting, and long-term partnership development rather than transactional engagements. She consistently engages with vendors possessing specialized certifications in defense logistics, systems engineering, and government-qualified manufacturing facilities. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach underscores her focus on technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the most qualified industrial base for high-stakes national security systems. Romo-Garza’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—where she acquires advanced propulsion systems, guidance and navigation hardware, space launch support equipment, and integrated avionics for classified and unclassified aerospace platforms. Her domain expertise spans missile sustainment, space vehicle lifecycle management, and secure communications systems, requiring close coordination with engineering, logistics, and test teams to ensure acquisition outcomes meet rigorous defense standards.
