Amanda Edge

Amanda Edge serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8540 Aflcmc Eskb, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing advanced airborne sensor, targeting, and navigation systems. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical electro-optical and electronic warfare technologies, including LANTIRN, SNIPER, LITENING, and AN/APX-119 IFF systems, ensuring operational readiness for manned and unmanned platforms. Her work directly supports the Air Force’s precision strike and situational awareness capabilities, focusing on engineering services that enable system integration, sustainment, and technology insertion across combat-coded fleets. She is deeply embedded in the agency’s mission to maintain technological superiority through timely, compliant, and technically rigorous contracting. Amanda collaborates with a broad network of defense contractors specializing in aerospace engineering, sensor integration, and electronic systems sustainment. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in avionics, signal processing, and ruggedized hardware development. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and systems engineering proficiency, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of supporting complex, classified, and legacy platform modernization efforts. Amanda’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the specialized nature of the technologies she acquires and the need for broad industry competition to meet stringent performance requirements. There is no indication of targeted socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in her award patterns, as the technical depth and security clearance demands typically require established defense contractors with proven capabilities in high-risk, high-complexity environments. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures systems engineering, technical integration, life-cycle support, and sustainment services for advanced airborne systems. She specializes in contracting for electro-optical/infrared sensor upgrades, electronic warfare countermeasures, and precision targeting interface development, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military aviation electronics and mission systems engineering.
