Ambre D. Wallitsch

Ambre D. Wallitsch serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she plays a critical role in executing procurement strategies that support operational readiness and mission-critical modernization. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of complex acquisitions, particularly in administrative services, technical support, and specialized infrastructure solutions. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracting actions with the Air Force’s priorities in systems engineering, enterprise IT, and cybersecurity enablement. Wallitsch routinely handles simplified acquisitions, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and performance-based service agreements to meet dynamic operational demands. She maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, partnering with firms that deliver high-value professional services in technical analysis, research support, and systems integration. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with organizations capable of providing scalable, agile solutions aligned with Air Force modernization goals. Wallitsch fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and compliance, ensuring accountability and mission alignment across contract performance. Wallitsch demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with a strong preference for small business set-asides. Approximately half of her acquisitions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, while over one-third prioritize SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB). She also consistently reserves a significant portion for Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs in defense contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors), 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing), and 532412 (Construction and Mining Equipment Leasing), indicating a unique blend of facility sustainment, workplace infrastructure, and equipment access solutions. Though these categories may appear non-traditional for a defense agency, they reflect her role in enabling mission-enabling environments—supporting base operations, administrative facilities, and logistics readiness through specialized, non-combat procurement.
