Anquanette Lasha Figueroa

Anquanette Lasha Figueroa serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions for advanced aerospace test and evaluation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for mission-critical technologies in avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the agency’s strategic modernization of airborne and ground-based sensing infrastructure, with a focus on high-precision measurement and control systems essential to aerospace readiness. Figueroa maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering, technical integration, and infrastructure support services aligned with the agency’s operational needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear requirements and rigorous oversight. A strong advocate for small business participation, Figueroa prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores her commitment to expanding socioeconomic opportunities while ensuring access to agile, innovative vendors capable of meeting the Air Force’s evolving technical demands. Her contracting portfolio reflects a deliberate balance between small business engagement and mission-critical delivery. Her primary NAICS focus includes 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing) and 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), which appear to reflect facility infrastructure or site support contracts rather than core aerospace systems. Additional categories such as 337910 (Mattress Manufacturing) and 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) suggest ancillary procurement for base operations or facility sustainment. While these codes dominate numerically, her technical expertise remains rooted in supporting the agency’s core mission through integrated test and evaluation systems.
