Sonya M. Barker

Sonya M. Barker serves as a secondary procurement liaison within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), supporting the agency’s global mobility mission by facilitating acquisitions critical to expeditionary logistics and rapid deployment operations. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in coordinating requirements, validating technical specifications, and ensuring alignment between operational needs and contract execution. Her work primarily supports air, sea, and land mobility initiatives, with a focus on logistics optimization, transportation infrastructure, and mission-critical support services that enable theater access and sustainment across all domains. Barker maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on specialized aviation and logistics service providers capable of delivering chartered air transport, cargo handling, and expeditionary port support. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for experienced, non-traditional vendors with proven capabilities in military-grade mobility operations, often engaging firms with niche expertise in unscheduled air transport and global cargo distribution. Barker’s acquisition portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with USTransCom’s emphasis on rapid, scalable, and globally responsive logistics solutions. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541614 (Logistics Consulting Services), indicating deep engagement with transportation network optimization, real-time logistics software, and operational process design. She routinely procures technical solutions that enhance port throughput, cargo tracking, and integrated mobility planning, demonstrating expertise in the intersection of logistics engineering and defense transportation systems.
