Anne C Hylla

Anne C. Hylla is a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within a federal agency focused on aviation, communications, and defense-related technologies. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her portfolio centers on technical systems and training services critical to national aerospace and communication infrastructure, reflecting a strategic alignment with agency modernization goals and operational readiness requirements. Hylla cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including manufacturers of aeronautical instrumentation, flight training providers, and wireless communications equipment suppliers. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages both large primes and specialized small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance. Her approach emphasizes transparency and fair competition, with a strong preference for solicitation structures that encourage innovation and vendor responsiveness. Her contracting patterns reveal a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 42% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her emphasis on broad-based small business inclusion supports broader agency goals for economic resilience and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Hylla’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611512 (flight training), 334220 (radio and broadcast equipment manufacturing), 334511 (aeronautical navigation systems), and 336413 (aircraft auxiliary equipment). She regularly acquires advanced avionics, training simulators, communication hardware, and specialized maintenance services, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems and operational readiness platforms. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions align with evolving mission needs in aviation safety, air traffic support, and defense communications.
