Andrea Livingston

Andrea Livingston serves as a secondary procurement professional within the FA8533 AFLCMC ROKB, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for modernizing automatic test systems and precision instrumentation essential to fighter aircraft and avionics readiness. Though not a lead contracting officer, she supports the acquisition lifecycle for high-technical, mission-critical electronics, assisting in the solicitation, evaluation, and administration of contracts for engineering services, test equipment calibration, and specialized aerospace instrumentation. Her role ensures alignment with the agency’s mandate to sustain operational integrity through advanced diagnostic and measurement technologies, particularly for countermeasures and flight-critical systems. Her contractor relationships primarily involve engineering firms and precision manufacturers with deep expertise in aerospace test platforms and electronic repair services. While no primary vendors are identified, her work consistently engages firms capable of delivering custom calibration solutions, embedded test hardware, and ruggedized instrumentation compliant with military standards such as MIL-STD-810 and DO-160. She collaborates with both large-tier defense contractors and niche suppliers possessing specialized technical certifications, fostering partnerships grounded in technical rigor and rapid prototyping capabilities. Livingston’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses remain eligible and are often selected based on domain-specific expertise rather than set-aside status. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 811210 (Electronic Repair and Maintenance), and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Testing), reflecting deep engagement with the development and sustainment of automatic test equipment, calibration standards, and avionics diagnostic systems. She supports the acquisition of mission-critical hardware and software solutions that ensure the operational readiness of next-generation aerospace platforms.
