Beth Dunlap

Beth Dunlap serves as a key acquisition professional within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. She manages complex procurements for advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and mission-critical technical services that enhance pilot readiness, surveillance effectiveness, and tactical communications. Her work directly enables combat-ready forces through the integration of acquisition and operational requirements, ensuring timely delivery of high-priority capabilities aligned with Air Combat Command’s strategic objectives. Dunlap maintains consistent contracting relationships with specialized contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, all of which provide niche expertise in aircraft maintenance, training system integration, and defense electronics support. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities in aerospace and defense domains, often structured through joint ventures and service-focused contracts that ensure mission continuity and system interoperability. Her contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 90.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a priority for technical excellence and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, she maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, with 6.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 3.0% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating balanced compliance with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising operational readiness. Dunlap’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 811219 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), which accounts for 66.7% of her portfolio, indicating a strong emphasis on advanced flight training, simulator maintenance, and crew readiness services. She also frequently procures other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (NAICS 336413), along with specialized software publishing and engineering services, underscoring her technical expertise in avionics integration, simulation systems, and mission-critical software support for tactical air operations.
