Vina Phomsopha

Vina Phomsopha serves as a key procurement lead within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to ensure the reliability, security, and operational readiness of the nation’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. Responsible for managing complex systems engineering and technical services acquisitions, Phomsopha oversees the lifecycle procurement of critical infrastructure for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, weapons integration systems, and secure command, control, and communications architectures. Their work directly enables the Navy’s strategic deterrence posture through acquisition of high-assurance, mission-critical capabilities aligned with Defense Acquisition Regulation requirements. Phomsopha maintains enduring partnerships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These relationships are characterized by sustained engagement on multi-year engineering, test, and integration efforts requiring deep technical expertise in nuclear systems, cybersecurity, and systems-of-systems integration. The procurement approach emphasizes long-term contractor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical risk mitigation through rigorous requirements definition and source selection. A consistent and comprehensive commitment to small business participation defines Phomsopha’s contracting strategy, with 100% of procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on enabling innovation and capacity-building among qualified small businesses capable of supporting classified, high-consequence defense programs. All acquisitions are intentionally reserved for small business concerns, fostering a robust ecosystem of specialized vendors within the strategic systems domain. The procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, test and evaluation, and integration support for nuclear deterrent platforms. Phomsopha’s expertise lies in acquiring specialized engineering services that support the design, sustainment, and modernization of strategic weapons systems, requiring clearance to handle classified technical data and adherence to stringent nuclear surety standards.
