Rosema Hermano

Ms. Rosema Hermano serves as a contracting professional within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing aerospace and space-based defense systems. She manages complex acquisitions for research, development, and engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications networks, and global positioning infrastructure. Her procurement portfolio centers on technical solutions that enhance the reliability, cybersecurity, and lifecycle performance of mission-critical space and air domain assets, ensuring alignment with national defense priorities and emerging technological threats. Ms. Hermano’s contractor relationships are primarily with defense aerospace and systems engineering firms possessing deep expertise in space systems sustainment, signal processing, and command and control architecture modernization. She collaborates with a broad base of prime contractors and specialized technical service providers, often engaging firms with cleared personnel and proven experience in classified space and missile programs. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term sustainment partnerships that support mission continuity across evolving threat environments. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside mechanisms. This indicates a focus on securing the most technically capable and cost-effective solutions from the full spectrum of qualified industry participants, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she maintains compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and evaluates vendor capability holistically. Ms. Hermano’s primary focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—reflecting her specialization in advanced systems engineering, prototype development, and sustainment R&D for space and missile platforms. She procures services including systems integration, signal integrity analysis, orbital dynamics modeling, and embedded software modernization, requiring contractors with DoD clearance, systems engineering pedigree, and experience in classified aerospace environments.
