Alanna Crawford

Alanna Crawford supports the procurement mission of the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions for advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. She oversees the acquisition of high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring alignment with modernization priorities for test and evaluation infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on complex technical systems requiring rigorous certification and integration, often involving electromagnetic compatibility, signal processing, and real-time data acquisition technologies. Crawford’s role is pivotal in sustaining operational readiness through timely, compliant contracting for mission-critical aerospace test and measurement capabilities. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, instrumentation manufacturing, and technical maintenance services essential to maintaining and upgrading test ranges and sensor systems. Her contracting patterns favor established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade electronics and field-deployable test equipment, indicating a preference for contractors with deep domain knowledge in aerospace instrumentation and ruggedized system integration. Crawford’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 88.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical specificity and mission-critical nature of the requirements. Only 11.1% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting that while small business participation is supported, it is secondary to technical capability and system interoperability needs. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334511 for aeronautical system manufacturing and 334515 for electrical signal measurement instrumentation, underscoring her expertise in procuring high-performance sensors, signal conditioners, and data acquisition hardware. She also frequently engages contractors in 811310 for industrial equipment maintenance and 541330 for specialized engineering services, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to sustaining complex test and evaluation ecosystems.
