Rebecca Willis

Rebecca Willis serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her work centers on ensuring the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications platforms, and global positioning infrastructure through contract execution aligned with national security priorities. She handles full lifecycle procurements—from requirements validation and source selection to contract award and performance oversight—primarily for high-technology, mission-critical systems requiring stringent compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and technical specifications. Her contractor relationships are focused on prime vendors with deep expertise in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, including defense contractors with proven capabilities in propulsion systems, guidance electronics, and space vehicle integration. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in delivering classified and export-controlled aerospace technologies under strict security protocols and systems engineering discipline. Rebecca’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, reflecting the specialized, high-assurance nature of the systems she manages. This aligns with the technical complexity and national security sensitivity of the acquisitions, which often require proprietary technologies and cleared industrial facilities that limit participation by small or socioeconomic category firms. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 336414—Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing—where she procures advanced propulsion systems, telemetry and command control units, radiation-hardened avionics, and space-qualified payloads. Her expertise lies in the integration of these subsystems into operational platforms requiring extreme reliability, long-term sustainment, and compatibility with existing Air Force and Space Force infrastructure.
