Rolando Pasayan

Rolando Pasayan serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8307 Aflcmc Hnck C3IN unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization of secure command, control, communications, intelligence, and cyber operations capabilities. He manages acquisitions for mission-critical software systems, cyber defense platforms, and hardened computing infrastructure that enable real-time decision-making in air and space domains. His portfolio centers on contracting for advanced avionics, electronic components, and precision equipment essential to maintaining operational superiority, with a strong emphasis on resilient, next-generation C3IN architectures. Pasayan maintains a consistent working relationship with AANTILIA LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized electronic systems and cyber-enabled solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense technology vendors with proven expertise in secure hardware and embedded systems, often engaging partners capable of rapid prototyping and field-deployable integration. While he collaborates with a limited pool of high-performing contractors, his approach prioritizes technical reliability and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC. His procurement strategy shows a strong orientation toward open competition, with 82.3% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 17.6% of contracts awarded under total small business set-asides, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission readiness and broader industry engagement. Pasayan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), 334419 (other electronic components), and 334118 (computer peripheral equipment manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in avionics, embedded systems, and mission-specific computing hardware. He frequently procures secure radio frequency modules, hardened data links, and precision navigation aids, underscoring his technical specialization in aerospace and cyber-physical system integration for high-assurance environments.
