Amanda Rossi Lockley

Amanda Rossi Lockley serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced aerospace and information technology domains. She plays a critical role in aligning contracting strategies with national defense and aviation modernization objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while driving technical innovation. Her portfolio centers on high-integrity systems requiring rigorous certification, including aircraft engine components and mission-critical software solutions. She oversees full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to source selection and contract administration—ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities. Her contractor relationships are primarily with Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers and specialized systems integrators with deep expertise in propulsion systems and avionics. She frequently engages with firms possessing AS9100 and ITAR compliance, ensuring supply chain security and technical fidelity. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her selections reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven track records in defense-grade engineering and secure software development. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous technical evaluation criteria. Amanda maintains a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial base breadth rather than socioeconomic targeting. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she actively evaluates small businesses as subcontractors and encourages their participation through prime contractor teaming arrangements. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), where she sources turbine components, fuel systems, and certification-critical hardware. She also regularly procures custom computer programming services under NAICS 541511 to support embedded flight control software, diagnostics, and secure data integration. Her technical domain expertise spans propulsion systems engineering, DO-178C software development standards, and aerospace supply chain resilience.
