Brittany Butler

Brittany Butler serves as a key procurement professional within the Operational Testing and Training Infrastructure office of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced test and training systems for next-generation aerospace, space, and cyber defense platforms. She manages acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize national test infrastructure, focusing on complex engineering, systems integration, and research-driven solutions that enable operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on high-technical-risk, mission-critical contracts requiring rigorous validation and long-term sustainment, often involving simulation environments, sensor networks, and secure data analytics platforms. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms possessing deep expertise in physical and engineering research, including defense contractors, systems integrators, and specialized R&D service providers. She engages with vendors capable of delivering end-to-end solutions—from concept development to fielded test infrastructure—emphasizing technical innovation, systems interoperability, and compliance with DoD test and evaluation standards. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with organizations demonstrating proven capability in aerospace systems engineering and operational test methodology. Brittany’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under open, non-set-aside solicitations. This approach prioritizes technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission-critical performance over socioeconomic targets. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit and past performance. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—reflecting her specialization in advanced engineering R&D, test facility modernization, and systems prototyping. She procures services related to aerospace simulation, test range instrumentation, cyber-physical system integration, and autonomous platform validation, requiring deep domain knowledge in defense testing frameworks and DoD acquisition regulations.
