Tina Wlasick

Tina Wlasick serves as a Contracting Specialist 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 procurement responsibilities center on research and development contracts supporting the modernization and operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning technologies. She manages the full lifecycle of complex technical acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while aligning contract outcomes with national defense priorities. Her work directly enables the sustainment of high-priority space and missile systems essential to strategic deterrence and global force projection. Tina collaborates with a diverse array of defense contractors specializing in systems engineering, advanced avionics, and space domain awareness. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in classified aerospace platforms, signal processing, and command and control system integration. Her working relationships emphasize technical proficiency, past performance in high-stakes environments, and adherence to stringent security protocols, often requiring cleared personnel and secure facility access. Tina’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technical requirements and the limited pool of vendors capable of meeting mission-critical performance standards for national security systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, she ensures fair opportunity for all qualified offerors through transparent solicitation practices. Her procurement focus is entirely aligned with NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. She specializes in procuring advanced engineering services for space vehicle sustainment, guidance system upgrades, and next-generation satellite communications architecture. Her domain expertise lies in electromechanical systems, telemetry integration, and secure data links, making her a key liaison between technical stakeholders and acquisition execution.
