Brittany Judd

Brittany Judd serves as a key procurement professional within the 4th Combat Communications Squadron (FA4809), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain secure, resilient communications infrastructure for expeditionary air operations. She manages the acquisition of specialized communications equipment, aircraft subsystems, and mission-critical support systems essential to operational readiness. Her responsibilities include executing full lifecycle contracting for technical solutions that enhance tactical radio networks, secure broadcast systems, and auxiliary aviation infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Air Force and DoD acquisition regulations. Judd’s portfolio emphasizes rapid deployment capabilities and interoperability with joint force networks. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Solomon Engineering, Inc., Textron Systems Corporation, and Western Metal Supply Company, Inc., all of which provide specialized engineering, communications hardware, and structural components critical to fielded systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade communications and ruggedized infrastructure, while also engaging niche suppliers for tailored subsystems and maintenance services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term reliability and technical alignment with squadron operational needs. Judd demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Women-owned small businesses also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her office actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster innovation and capacity building among qualified small firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), supporting the acquisition of secure radio and data transmission systems, alongside related categories in prefabricated metal components and environmental control equipment for field installations. This technical specialization underscores her expertise in procuring ruggedized, mission-tailored systems that operate in austere environments, ensuring communications resilience across global air operations.
