Stephanie M. Vigil

Stephanie M. Vigil serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, negotiating, and administering contracts for guided missile systems, space vehicle platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain operational readiness of national defense assets. Vigil routinely handles complex, technical acquisitions requiring deep domain expertise in defense aerospace systems and lifecycle support. Her contractor relationships are primarily with prime contractors possessing specialized capabilities in guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, including firms with proven track records in systems integration, propulsion, avionics, and mission-critical software development. While specific vendor names are not disclosed in public records, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with established defense industrial base suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid sustainment timelines. She fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize technical excellence, supply chain resilience, and mission-critical delivery. Vigil’s contracting activity reflects a uniform focus on full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic preference for selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission capability and system reliability over mandated set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all applicable federal small business policies and may include subcontracting opportunities within prime contracts as warranted by technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 336414 — Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing — encompassing the sustainment, modernization, and integration of advanced space and missile systems. She procures highly specialized hardware and software solutions including satellite communication payloads, navigation systems, telemetry infrastructure, and ruggedized avionics, requiring deep technical knowledge in defense aerospace engineering and systems lifecycle management.
