Stacy Reed

Stacy A. Reed serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical aerospace and space-based sustainment capabilities. Her portfolio centers on the acquisition of engineering services, research and development for guided missile systems, satellite communications, and command, control, and communications infrastructure essential to national defense readiness. She manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, performance standards, and mission-critical timelines for high-consequence defense platforms. Reed cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of contractors, primarily engineering firms and R&D service providers with deep expertise in aerospace systems sustainment. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages vendors capable of delivering complex technical solutions in space systems maintenance, signal processing, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical innovation, and contractor accountability across both large primes and specialized small businesses. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she maintains a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, allocating 11.1% of opportunities each to Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a balanced approach to competition and inclusion. She actively supports small business growth through mentorship and streamlined acquisition pathways for qualified firms. Reed’s primary NAICS focus lies in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (541712) and Engineering Services (541330), underscoring her technical domain expertise in advanced aerospace systems. She also procures computer facilities management and specialized support services, ensuring integrated sustainment of space and missile platforms. Her work directly enables the operational resilience of GPS, satellite comms, and next-generation navigation systems critical to U.S. air and space superiority.
