Romina Snyder

Romina Snyder serves as a key procurement lead within the FA9300 AFTC PZR, a critical component of the Department of the Air Force’s aerospace research and development ecosystem. She is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical instrumentation, proprietary software systems, and advanced engineering services that enable cutting-edge testing and operational readiness for air and space platforms. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to advance next-generation aerospace capabilities through targeted R&D investments, ensuring that technical requirements are translated into compliant, high-performance contracts aligned with DoD acquisition regulations. Snyder maintains a dynamic network of vendors specializing in analytical laboratory equipment, scientific software development, and systems engineering services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep domain expertise in aerospace testing environments and data acquisition systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering bespoke solutions under strict security and compliance protocols. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with proven capabilities in scientific research and software publishing, ensuring broad access for qualified firms without compromising technical integrity. Her approach supports socioeconomic goals while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. Snyder’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541715 for physical and engineering R&D services and NAICS 513210 for software publishing. She routinely procures high-precision data acquisition systems, simulation software, signal processing tools, and custom-developed analytical platforms used in flight test instrumentation and laboratory validation environments. Her expertise centers on acquiring mission-critical technologies that support the development and certification of advanced air and space systems.
