Rosalia Toberman

Rosalia Toberman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense sector, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations under the FAR. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—focusing on high-technical-demand goods and services critical to national aviation capabilities. Her portfolio primarily supports the development, integration, and sustainment of aircraft systems, engine components, and associated support infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with defense acquisition protocols and technical specifications. Toberman cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, including prime manufacturers of aircraft and auxiliary equipment, engineering services firms, and air transportation support providers. She engages regularly with both large-tier defense contractors and qualified small businesses, fostering collaborative procurement environments that emphasize performance, innovation, and regulatory adherence. Her working relationships are characterized by transparency, rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, and consistent application of competitive procedures to ensure value and mission readiness. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.7% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she maintains a deliberate commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating 16.3% of her acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her reliance on small business set-asides underscores a proactive approach to expanding market access for qualified small manufacturers and service providers. Toberman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), followed by aircraft and engine manufacturing (336411 and 336412), with notable activity in engineering services (541330) and air transportation support (488190). Her technical expertise spans avionics integration, propulsion systems, and logistics support for military and civilian aviation platforms, positioning her as a key steward of aerospace procurement excellence.
