Amy Gibson-Ferri

Amy Gibson-Ferri serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio, a critical unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining airpower readiness through the acquisition of high-precision aerospace and defense instrumentation. She manages the procurement of laboratory-grade analytical equipment, electromedical and electrotherapeutic devices, and industrial measurement systems essential for flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring. Her role centers on ensuring mission-critical technical capabilities are delivered on schedule and in compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a focus on maintaining the operational integrity of Air Force test and evaluation infrastructure. Her primary contractor relationship is with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor specializing in the manufacture and integration of analytical laboratory instruments. Gibson-Ferri consistently engages this contractor for complex, technically demanding procurements requiring precision calibration and ruggedized field deployment. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven performance in high-reliability environments, while maintaining rigorous oversight of deliverables tied to military specifications and ISO standards. Set-aside preferences are heavily weighted toward unrestricted competition, with 90% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, she maintains a consistent 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses in niche technical domains without compromising mission requirements. Her socioeconomic contracting approach balances operational urgency with statutory small business participation goals. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring mass spectrometers, gas chromatographs, and environmental sensors. She also procures related systems under NAICS 334515 for electrical signal measurement, underscoring her technical fluency in aerospace test instrumentation and electrotherapeutic device acquisition for maintenance and readiness applications.
