Audrey Lee serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the FA8222 office of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems. Her role involves facilitating the procurement lifecycle for advanced avionics, embedded computing hardware, and secure command-and-control platforms essential to air and space dominance. While not the lead contracting officer, she provides critical support in solicitation development, vendor coordination, and contract administration, ensuring alignment with the agency’s strategic modernization goals for next-generation signal processing and intelligence systems. Lee works in close collaboration with prime contractors and systems integrators specializing in defense-grade electronics and mission-critical software development. Though specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable in available records, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing ITAR and DFARS compliance, as well as those holding relevant CMMC levels. Her working relationships emphasize technical rigor, supply chain resilience, and adherence to defense acquisition regulations, fostering partnerships with vendors capable of delivering ruggedized, classified-capable hardware and custom firmware solutions. Lee’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her associated acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This indicates a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing performance, innovation, and readiness over small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach underscores the urgency and sensitivity of the systems being procured, where mission necessity takes precedence over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary NAICS focus includes Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111), Other Computer Related Services (541519), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (336413), reflecting deep expertise in procuring embedded systems, real-time software development, and avionics subcomponents. She also engages with industrial valve and power transformer manufacturers (332911, 335311), suggesting support for specialized environmental control and power conditioning systems used in high-reliability aerospace platforms. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of defense electronics, mission software, and ruggedized hardware integration.
