Abbey Gallivan

Abbey Gallivan serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8726 Aflcmc Hnk C3IN, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing expeditionary command, control, communications, intelligence, and network (C3IN) capabilities. In this role, Gallivan manages the acquisition of advanced telecommunications and network infrastructure to support global air and space operations, with a focus on deployable communications systems, cloud-enabled productivity platforms, and AI-integrated command tools. She ensures that procurements align with Department of Defense cybersecurity standards and interoperability requirements, facilitating resilient, secure, and agile C3IN architectures for theater-level forces. Her acquisitions are primarily engineering and technical in nature, targeting next-generation connectivity solutions for contested environments. Gallivan maintains a consistent working relationship with FEDCON-1, LLC, the primary contractor supporting her portfolio. This partnership centers on the delivery of specialized telecommunications systems, secure network hardware, and integrated C3IN solutions tailored for expeditionary operations. The relationship reflects a pattern of repeat engagements based on technical proficiency, rapid delivery timelines, and compliance with stringent military communication standards. While FEDCON-1, LLC is the dominant contractor, Gallivan’s approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes over sole-source dependency, maintaining flexibility for competitive opportunities when mission needs evolve. Gallivan’s procurement strategy reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. Her acquisitions prioritize technical capability, operational readiness, and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the urgent and high-stakes nature of C3IN modernization. This reflects a deliberate focus on mission outcomes in time-sensitive, high-risk operational environments where speed and reliability outweigh socioeconomic objectives. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 517810 — All Other Telecommunications — encompassing secure wireless networks, satellite-enabled communication systems, tactical data links, and encrypted network services. Gallivan specializes in procuring cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure that enables real-time data sharing, cloud-connected command nodes, and AI-assisted situational awareness tools for deployed forces, ensuring the Air Force maintains technological superiority in contested domains.
