Aimee T. Richard

Aimee T. Richard serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8773 Acc 38 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical capabilities for cyberspace operations and space security. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions—including systems integration, secure communications infrastructure, and facility support for classified computing environments—ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. Her work directly supports the development and sustainment of formalized cyber operations training programs and high-assurance IT systems essential to national defense. Richard’s portfolio emphasizes rapid deployment of technical solutions in high-tempo operational domains, requiring rigorous compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and cybersecurity standards. She maintains a primary working relationship with AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, a trusted vendor with proven expertise in advanced cyber defense systems and mission-specific IT infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with demonstrated capability in secure networking, real-time data analytics, and hardened computing platforms. While she engages with a limited pool of qualified vendors, her approach prioritizes performance history, technical compliance, and operational reliability over broad competition, reflecting the sensitive and time-critical nature of her acquisitions. Aimee’s set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside procurements at 97.2%, indicating a focus on full and open competition for high-complexity, mission-essential requirements. Only 2.8% of her awards fall under Total Small Business Set-Asides, consistent with the agency’s need for specialized technical capabilities often found in larger, experienced contractors with DoD security clearances and enterprise-grade infrastructure. Her procurement focus centers on advanced cyber and space-related IT services, including secure communications systems, cyber training platforms, and facility support for sensitive operations centers. While specific NAICS codes are not available, her work aligns with domains requiring deep expertise in network resilience, information assurance, and mission-critical system integration for defense cyber operations.
