Amanda Lee

Amanda S. Lee serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages acquisitions for high-precision avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring the modernization of test and evaluation infrastructure essential to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio centers on technical systems requiring rigorous electromagnetic compatibility, signal integrity, and real-time data acquisition capabilities, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to sustain operational superiority in contested environments. Lee maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These vendors provide niche engineering services, ruggedized test equipment, facility upgrades, and electronic countermeasure support, reflecting a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense-grade instrumentation and rapid prototyping. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaborative, performance-based outcomes with vendors capable of meeting stringent MIL-STD and DO-160 compliance requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lee consistently structures procurements under the Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5), with 95% of her awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from agile, non-traditional defense suppliers and ensure broad socioeconomic inclusion across the acquisition lifecycle. Her primary NAICS focus includes 813110 (Religious Organizations), which appears to reflect administrative or facility-related contracting, alongside 336310 (Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 339920 (Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing)—categories that may indicate indirect support for test fixture development or simulation hardware. She also procures industrial machinery and food service support, suggesting a hybrid operational and mission-enabling procurement profile that balances technical systems with sustainment needs.
