Susan Solis

Susan Solis serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8571 Maintenance Contracting unit of the Air Force Sustainment Center, where she manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems. Her role centers on sustaining high-precision test equipment, avionics instrumentation, and industrial maintenance systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. She oversees the full lifecycle of service and supply contracts, ensuring timely delivery of technical support, calibration services, and modernization upgrades for aircraft maintenance facilities and laboratory environments. Her procurement activities directly enable the reliability of mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Solis maintains consistent working relationships with leading technology and industrial contractors, including Teradyne, Inc., Keysight Technologies Inc., and Corelis, Inc., which provide advanced electronic test and measurement solutions. She also partners with TYONEK Machining and Fabrication, LLC, for precision fabrication and repair services, and Coho Consulting Group LLC for technical advisory and systems integration support. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established, technically capable firms with proven expertise in aerospace-grade instrumentation and industrial maintenance systems, indicating a focus on performance, compliance, and long-term sustainment rather than transactional procurement. Solis’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic emphasis on open competition to ensure access to the most technically qualified vendors. There is no indication of targeted socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in her award patterns, suggesting a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and system reliability over socioeconomic criteria in this specialized domain. Her procurement focus lies in high-end technical services and equipment supporting aerospace maintenance, including automated test systems, calibration services, electronic repair, and industrial automation. The technical domain spans avionics diagnostics, electronic test instrumentation, and precision machining for mission-critical components, requiring deep familiarity with military specification standards and aerospace logistics frameworks.
