Amanda M Winn

Amanda M. Winn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in defense and aerospace-related technical domains. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities through competitive, transparent contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, avionics systems, and specialized technical support, with a focus on high-precision instrumentation, aircraft manufacturing, and custom software development. Winn is known for her rigorous evaluation of technical proposals and her commitment to achieving optimal value through full and open competition. Her contractor relationships are centered on prime vendors with proven expertise in aerospace systems integration, avionics design, and mission-critical software development. She regularly engages with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in navigation systems, flight control technologies, and air transportation support services. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently partners with organizations that demonstrate technical excellence, past performance in similar environments, and strong quality assurance protocols. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. Amanda maintains a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission requirements that demand specialized technical capabilities often found only in large, established industry players. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement decisions prioritize technical suitability and operational readiness over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, Aircraft Manufacturing, and Custom Computer Programming Services. She procures advanced avionics, flight instrumentation, airborne data systems, and integrated software solutions tailored for military and civilian aviation applications. Her technical expertise lies at the intersection of aerospace engineering and mission-critical IT systems, ensuring that acquisitions meet stringent performance, safety, and interoperability standards.
