Amanda Wesson

Amanda Wesson serves as a Contract Specialist with the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877) under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain airpower readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized aerospace components, avionics systems, maintenance services, and facility infrastructure essential to aircraft operations and base sustainment. Her portfolio includes procurement of technical support services, logistics enablers, and mission-critical equipment that directly support flight line operations, training readiness, and operational continuity across Air Force installations. Wesson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships span a range of capabilities—from industrial equipment manufacturing and construction management to performance-based maintenance and niche technology solutions. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in FAR compliance and operational urgency, ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential goods and services under tight timelines. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and nearly one-sixth reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of set-asides demonstrates a structured effort to broaden small business participation in defense procurement. Wesson’s primary NAICS focus includes 621340 for therapeutic and rehabilitative services, 811310 for commercial machinery repair, and 541611 for management consulting—indicating a broad operational support scope that extends beyond traditional aerospace procurement into facility sustainment, personnel wellness, and administrative efficiency. Her expertise lies in integrating diverse service domains to ensure holistic readiness across Air Force mission areas.
