Alanna Charnock

Alanna Charnock serves as a Contracting Officer for FA2823 AFTC PZIO within the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of specialized test, measurement, and diagnostic systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio focuses on procuring advanced instrumentation for avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the readiness and modernization of airborne and ground-based sensing infrastructure. She oversees full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—supporting the agency’s mission to maintain cutting-edge test and evaluation capabilities for next-generation defense systems. Charnock maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of technical contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These vendors provide specialized engineering services, custom instrumentation, and maintenance support for high-precision measurement systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, reliability, and long-term operational support, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate deep domain expertise in aerospace test environments and electromagnetic compatibility validation. Charnock’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her portfolio includes firms of varying sizes based on technical merit and capacity to deliver complex, mission-essential systems. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance) and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), with a secondary emphasis on 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement). She routinely acquires calibrated test equipment, signal conditioning systems, data acquisition hardware, and field-deployable diagnostic platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in electromagnetic testing, avionics validation, and electronic systems integration for defense applications.
