Sasha Torman

Sasha Torman serves as a key procurement lead within the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s FA8201 office, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain air base infrastructure and advanced aerospace systems. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in communications equipment and specialized ground support machinery, Torman ensures the operational readiness of critical airfield and avionics systems. Their portfolio centers on procuring mission-critical components that enable real-time data transmission, sensor integration, and logistics support for expeditionary air operations, aligning directly with the agency’s focus on modernizing airbase resilience and tactical communications capability. Torman maintains strategic relationships with leading defense technology providers, including L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and LiveView Technologies Inc., partnering with firms specializing in secure communications hardware, unmanned aerial system payloads, and real-time video analytics platforms. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven expertise in ruggedized, field-deployable systems, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and DoD cybersecurity standards. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and rapid delivery timelines to support time-sensitive operational requirements. A defining feature of Torman’s procurement strategy is a 100% total small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting an unwavering commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. All acquisitions are structured to maximize participation from small businesses, with no preference for large primes, ensuring that innovative capabilities from emerging vendors are integrated into mission-critical systems. This approach fosters a competitive, inclusive supply chain aligned with DoD socioeconomic goals. Torman’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 334290 for other communications equipment manufacturing and NAICS 333924 for industrial truck and stacker machinery, indicating deep expertise in procuring tactical radio systems, encrypted data links, and specialized ground handling equipment for aircraft support. Their acquisitions prioritize ruggedized, low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) electronics and automated logistics platforms essential for forward-deployed air operations.
