Renee Berry

Renee T. Berry serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Her portfolio centers on ensuring the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning systems through technically complex, performance-based contracts. She specializes in engineering and professional services acquisitions, aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain national defense capabilities in space and missile domains. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Berry maintains a robust network of prime contractors and subcontractors delivering high-precision engineering, systems integration, and technical support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with firms capable of sustaining mission-critical platforms under stringent security and reliability standards. She routinely engages with vendors possessing specialized expertise in space systems engineering, command and control architectures, and secure communications networks. Berry demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her office consistently prioritizes small business participation, leveraging set-asides to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified small firms, while maintaining compliance with federal socioeconomic goals. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but ensures broad small business access through open competition mechanisms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), accounting for 75% of her activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She procures advanced technical services including systems engineering, lifecycle sustainment planning, test and evaluation, and mission assurance for space and missile systems, reflecting deep expertise in defense aerospace acquisition domains.
