Sarah E. Vollbracht

Sarah E. Vollbracht serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2550 50 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aerospace and space support systems. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for advanced communications, instrumentation, and electronic testing infrastructure essential to national defense space operations. Her portfolio primarily focuses on engineering services that sustain and modernize satellite telecommunications, ground-based radio networks, and precision electronic systems, ensuring operational readiness across the space domain. Vollbracht ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s strategic modernization goals. Her contractor relationships center on firms delivering high-precision engineering solutions, with notable partnerships including the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC. While these entities represent diverse operational scopes, her engagements reflect a focus on specialized service providers capable of supporting technical requirements under strict security and performance standards. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, regulatory compliance, and consistent delivery of mission-critical deliverables. Vollbracht’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 25% of acquisitions as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach prioritizes equitable access for qualified small businesses without compromising mission needs, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals and operational effectiveness. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures specialized engineering solutions for space and defense systems. This includes systems engineering, test and evaluation, signal integrity analysis, and embedded systems design—domains requiring deep technical expertise and adherence to DoD standards. Her expertise lies in translating complex aerospace requirements into clear, enforceable contract statements of work that ensure mission success.
