Remonda Stevens

Remonda Stevens serves as a key procurement professional at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, supporting the development and acquisition of mission-critical space propulsion systems and advanced avionics. She manages complex contracting actions aligned with the Center’s mandate to pioneer next-generation rocket engines, guidance systems, and computational infrastructure for deep space exploration. Her acquisitions focus on high-reliability electronic systems, real-time data acquisition hardware, and mission-specific computing platforms essential for propulsion testing and flight software validation. Stevens operates within a technically demanding environment where precision, reliability, and compliance with NASA’s stringent spaceflight standards are paramount. She maintains consistent contracting relationships with BASTION TECHNOLOGIES INC and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, both of which provide specialized electronic manufacturing and aerospace systems integration services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term technical collaboration, iterative prototyping support, and rapid response to evolving propulsion test requirements. Stevens engages these vendors through performance-based contract structures that emphasize technical innovation, quality assurance, and systems-level integration capabilities. Stevens’ procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the selection of vendors with proven expertise in high-stakes aerospace electronics. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, she evaluates all offers based on technical merit, past performance, and system integration readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334111—Electronic Computer Manufacturing—where she acquires custom-built flight computers, embedded control systems, radiation-hardened circuitry, and real-time data acquisition units. These procurements support NASA’s Moon to Mars architecture, requiring components that meet MIL-STD and NASA-STD environmental and reliability thresholds. Stevens’ expertise centers on the acquisition of mission-critical electronics for propulsion test stands and flight avionics, ensuring hardware integrity under extreme thermal, vibrational, and radiation conditions.
