Stephanie Liberman

Stephanie Liberman serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8735 Afnwc Hck NC3 organization under the Department of the Air Force, where she supports the acquisition and sustainment of mission-critical national command, control, and communications (NC3) systems. Her work centers on maintaining and modernizing hardened, survivable communication infrastructure essential to nuclear deterrence and national leadership continuity. She manages technical contracts focused on the repair, maintenance, and calibration of highly specialized electronic and precision equipment, including VLF transmission systems, MILSATCOM terminals, and hardened field-deployable communication assets. Her procurement activities directly enable the agency’s mission to ensure resilient, secure, and jam-resistant strategic communications under all threat conditions. Liberman collaborates with a network of specialized defense contractors and Tier-2 technical service providers with deep expertise in military-grade electronics repair and electromagnetic systems maintenance. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with DoD 5000.02-compliant quality assurance programs, ITAR compliance, and experience in classified facility access. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based service agreements over one-time procurement events, emphasizing reliability, rapid turnaround, and supply chain integrity for mission-essential hardware. Her acquisition strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technical services required and the limited pool of qualified vendors capable of maintaining hardened NC3 systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all awards adhere strictly to regulatory compliance and fair competition standards. Liberman’s primary focus is NAICS 811210—Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance—specifically targeting the upkeep of VLF antennas, hardened terminals, encrypted signal processors, and ground-based command post electronics. Her technical domain expertise lies in the sustainment of legacy and next-generation military communication hardware requiring precision calibration, electromagnetic shielding, and environmental hardening to ensure operational continuity in contested environments.
