Shaneka Perryman

Shaneka M. Perryman serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical aerospace and space-based sustainment capabilities. Her procurement activities center on maintaining operational readiness for guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system components. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities and national defense requirements. Her work directly supports the sustainment of high-technology platforms essential to space superiority and global strike operations. Perryman collaborates with a diverse range of defense contractors specializing in aerospace systems integration, signal processing, and space domain awareness technologies. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in secure communications, navigation systems, and satellite ground segment support. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based outcomes, and rigorous risk mitigation, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and innovation. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet demanding technical requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic programs. Her approach underscores mission necessity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the high-stakes nature of space and missile sustainment. Perryman’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 517919—Other Telecommunications—which encompasses specialized services for satellite command and control, secure data transmission, and space-based network sustainment. She routinely procures advanced telecommunications systems, ground station equipment, and embedded software solutions critical to maintaining resilient space architectures. Her domain expertise lies in the intersection of space systems engineering and secure communications infrastructure, making her a key enabler of Air Force space enterprise resilience.
