Allison J. Norder

Allison J. Norder supports the procurement mission of the FA7000 10 Cons Lgc within the Department of the Air Force, managing acquisitions of precision instrumentation, analytical laboratory equipment, and specialized technical systems critical to aerospace research and cadet training at the U.S. Air Force Academy. She ensures the acquisition of high-accuracy measuring devices and mission-critical instrumentation that sustain operational readiness and scientific advancement across training and research facilities. Her portfolio centers on complex technical procurements requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a focus on delivering cutting-edge capabilities to support aerospace engineering and data-driven experimentation. Norder maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including SAWASAWA LLC, BERNARD CAP, LLC, TEAL DRONES INC, BRANSCOME OPERATING, LLC, and LAVISION, INC. These contractors provide advanced sensing technologies, drone-based data collection platforms, laboratory-grade analytical instruments, and custom industrial measurement systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical specificity, and performance-based delivery, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in aerospace and scientific instrumentation. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Norder demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with over 30% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to engage capable small businesses with niche technical capabilities, though she does not routinely prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, favoring broad small business eligibility to ensure competitive innovation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334513 (Industrial Process Measurement Instruments), with significant activity in 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and 518210 (Data Processing Services). She specializes in acquiring systems for real-time data acquisition, environmental monitoring, and high-fidelity simulation, reflecting deep domain expertise in scientific instrumentation and aerospace test infrastructure.
