Andrea Frye

Andrea Frye serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Disa/ditco Europe office, responsible for securing critical telecommunications infrastructure to support U.S. military communications in theater environments across Europe and Southwest Asia. She manages complex acquisitions of commercial telecommunications services, including encrypted data transport, low-latency network solutions, and secure satellite-enabled connectivity essential for operational command and control. Her work directly enables resilient, high-capacity communications for deployed forces, aligning with DISA’s mission to sustain global information superiority through commercially sourced, mission-critical infrastructure. Frye maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of global telecommunications providers, including L1 Enterprises Incorporated, British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Vodafone Enterprise Germany GmbH, Liberty Communications, Inc., and QualityNet General Trading and Contracting Company WLL. These relationships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in secure, scalable, and encrypted commercial telecom services. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term service delivery agreements over one-time procurements, fostering reliability and interoperability across dynamic operational theaters. Frye’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability, global reach, and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the urgent and mission-critical nature of defense communications requirements in austere environments. Her primary procurement focus centers on commercial telecommunications services supporting encrypted data transport, secure voice and video networks, and backbone infrastructure for tactical and strategic command systems. While NAICS data is not available, her acquisitions clearly align with high-end network services, secure cloud-enabled communications, and managed IT infrastructure—domains requiring advanced cybersecurity, low-latency performance, and global service delivery capabilities.
