April Febbi

April Febbi serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2318 AFLCMC C3MK unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for acquiring advanced computer systems design services that enable next-generation airborne command, control, and communications capabilities. Her work directly supports the modernization of aircrew computing environments and the deployment of intelligent, real-time mission planning platforms for contested operational domains. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for secure, high-performance computing solutions, including software-defined architectures, edge computing systems, and secure data processing frameworks essential to dynamic aerial operations. Her role ensures alignment between technical requirements and federal contracting regulations to deliver mission-critical capabilities on schedule. Febbi collaborates with a broad ecosystem of defense technology contractors specializing in systems integration and mission-critical software development. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering classified C3 software, secure cloud-native applications, and adaptive computing platforms compliant with DoD cybersecurity standards such as RMF and CJIS. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, iterative development partnerships with vendors who can rapidly prototype, test, and field capabilities in response to evolving operational needs. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding the defense industrial base. She actively encourages qualified small businesses with relevant technical expertise to compete for opportunities, though the majority of her contracts remain open to all offerors, reflecting the high complexity and specialized nature of the requirements. Her primary focus is on NAICS 541512—Computer Systems Design Services—with an emphasis on developing secure, scalable computing architectures for airborne platforms. She procures custom software, real-time data processing tools, AI-enabled replanning systems, and integrated mission computing environments tailored to the unique demands of modern air warfare. Her technical domain expertise centers on secure, resilient, and reconfigurable computing systems that operate in denied or degraded communication environments.
