Rosa Mueller

Rosa M. Mueller serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical test and evaluation systems essential to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of advanced avionics, electronic warfare instrumentation, radar signal processing equipment, and ground-based sensing platforms that support the modernization of test infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely, compliant, and technically sound contract execution for high-priority defense systems, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to enhance electromagnetic spectrum dominance and operational test capabilities. Mueller maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized engineering, instrumentation, and infrastructure support services tailored to complex military testing environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical precision, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure system interoperability and mission-critical reliability. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 90%—are conducted without set-asides, Mueller actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her pattern reflects a preference for open competition with targeted opportunities for qualified small businesses, particularly those with niche technical capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus includes 237110 for specialized construction supporting test range infrastructure, 339112 and 339113 for precision medical and surgical instrument manufacturing—applied to sensor and diagnostic systems—and 325413 for in-vitro diagnostic substances used in environmental and biological monitoring. This unique blend of construction, instrumentation, and diagnostic procurement underscores her expertise in integrating diverse technical domains to support advanced aerospace test and evaluation missions.
