Rosalind Davis

Rosalind Davis serves as the primary contracting lead for the FA2518 USSF SPOC/SAIO under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of advanced space domain capabilities essential to national security. She manages a diverse portfolio of engineering, telecommunications, and research contracts aimed at modernizing space-based surveillance, satellite communications, and electromagnetic warfare systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational superiority in contested space environments by securing cutting-edge technical solutions through competitive and strategic procurement processes. She routinely handles complex, mission-critical acquisitions requiring high levels of technical vetting and compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Davis maintains strong, sustained relationships with key industry partners including Keystone Mission Solutions Corp, Riverside Research Institute, and Bowhead Information Technology Service LLC. These contractors provide specialized expertise in space systems engineering, signal intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical excellence, performance history, and mission alignment, fostering collaboration on multi-year, high-complexity efforts that demand agility and innovation in rapidly evolving threat environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with 75% of awards issued as unrestricted and 25% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. While she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for capable small firms in the national security space sector. Davis’s procurement focus is concentrated in four core NAICS categories: 541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 541511 (custom computer programming), 517919 (other information services), and 517810 (other telecommunications). These reflect her expertise in acquiring advanced software-defined systems, space communications architectures, data analytics platforms, and resilient network solutions critical to space domain awareness and secure satellite operations.
