Sra. Evangelina Severtson serves as a key procurement professional within the 4th Combat Communications Squadron (FA4809), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain secure, resilient communication infrastructure for expeditionary air operations. She manages acquisitions of specialized communications equipment, aircraft subsystems, and mission-critical support services essential to operational readiness. Her portfolio focuses on procuring advanced radio systems, secure broadcast technologies, and auxiliary aviation components, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. Severtson plays a central role in aligning contracting actions with strategic modernization goals, emphasizing rapid deployment and field-hardened capabilities for austere environments. She maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including SOLOMON ENGINEERING, INC., TEXTRON SYSTEMS CORPORATION, and WESTERN METAL SUPPLY COMPANY, INC., among others. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade communications hardware, aircraft maintenance, and ruggedized infrastructure solutions. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical reliability and rapid turnaround, often engaging suppliers with existing Defense Logistics Agency qualifications and relevant ITAR/EAR compliance credentials. Severtson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 60.9% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently favor small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Air Force socioeconomic objectives. She actively leverages set-aside authorities to foster innovation and capacity-building within the defense industrial base. Her primary NAICS focus areas include temporary shelters (624221), commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), and other specialized categories such as electromedical apparatus manufacturing and machinery leasing. These reflect a broad but targeted procurement strategy centered on field-deployable, mission-support systems—ranging from mobile command units to maintenance and logistics enablers critical to forward-operating bases.
