Amanda C. Lloyd

Amanda C. Lloyd serves as a Senior Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex professional services acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. She specializes in managing full lifecycle contracting for systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical analytics. Her portfolio is centered on high-stakes, technically demanding procurements that support the Air Force’s strategic imperatives, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS compliance, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation in mission-critical environments. Lloyd maintains consistent, long-term relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established partners with proven expertise in advanced technical services and research-driven solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical proficiency, and institutional knowledge, often resulting in repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate agility, compliance, and domain-specific excellence in defense-related domains. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a mission-driven focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and compliant, ensuring the best value through merit-based selection. Lloyd’s primary NAICS focus areas—541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 511210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services)—reflect a strong emphasis on enterprise software development, systems integration, and analytical support services. She routinely procures specialized IT solutions, custom algorithm development, cyber defense tools, and data analytics platforms tailored to Air Force mission needs, demonstrating deep expertise in technical service procurement within the national security ecosystem.
