Tiffany Werner

Tiffany M. Werner 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 complex acquisitions critical to national aerospace and space defense capabilities. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of guided missile systems, space vehicle platforms, and associated command, control, and communications infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness of strategic defense assets. Her acquisitions typically involve high-technical, mission-critical systems requiring rigorous engineering oversight and long-term sustainment planning. Werner collaborates with a diverse range of defense prime contractors and specialized engineering firms, primarily those with proven expertise in missile systems integration, space vehicle sustainment, and advanced R&D for defense applications. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships with vendors possessing deep technical capabilities in aerospace engineering, systems integration, and mission-critical software development. She fosters collaborative procurement environments that prioritize performance, reliability, and innovation in support of national security objectives. Werner’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach underscores a mission-driven focus on securing the highest technical capability available, regardless of vendor size or certification status, while still adhering to all statutory requirements for fair and transparent competition. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), complemented by significant activity in NAICS 541715 and 541712 for physical and engineering research and development. She routinely procures advanced propulsion systems, satellite communication payloads, guidance and navigation technologies, and classified sustainment services, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aerospace systems lifecycle management and defense R&D contracting.
