Sonia Wasserman

Sonia Wasserman serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, supporting the operational resilience of critical space launch and test infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and technical support contracts essential to sustaining national security space operations, including facility upgrades, utilities modernization, and site security enhancements. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize aging infrastructure and ensure mission-critical readiness, with a focus on performance-based service contracts and firm-fixed-price delivery orders. Wasserman maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in site development, pest control, tactical logistics, and freight services, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT, TECH O. R., LLC, and KING FREIGHT LLC. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for trusted, locally responsive vendors capable of delivering specialized services under dynamic operational conditions. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in secure, high-reliability environments and frequently engages contractors through multiple-award task order contracts to ensure rapid response and mission continuity. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wasserman directs over 71% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, her portfolio consistently channels opportunities to small firms capable of delivering niche services across disparate technical domains. Her NAICS focus reveals an unusual but mission-driven blend of categories, including flooring contractors, industrial gas manufacturing, and educational support services—reflecting the facility’s complex, multi-disciplinary needs. These reflect specialized procurement for facility upgrades, cryogenic and gas system maintenance, and contractor-provided training support, underscoring her expertise in managing non-traditional but mission-critical acquisitions within the space operations ecosystem.
