Brittany Peterson

Brittany A. Peterson serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA8771 Aflcmc Gbk, responsible for managing acquisitions that advance mission-critical information technology and aerospace systems. She plays a central role in executing contracts that support command and control modernization, cyber-resilient infrastructure, and cloud-enabled data architectures essential to air and space operations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses custom software development, avionics subsystems, and integrated digital solutions that enhance operational readiness and force multiplier capabilities across distributed environments. Peterson collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including specialized defense technology firms, aerospace subsystem manufacturers, and IT services providers delivering secure software development and systems integration. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with vendors possessing DoD CMMC compliance, ITAR/EAR expertise, and experience in agile development frameworks. She fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of rapid prototyping, secure DevSecOps pipelines, and sustainment of legacy aerospace platforms alongside next-generation digital architectures. Her procurement strategy shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and speed-to-field over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgency to modernize high-stakes operational systems. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, she maintains flexibility to consider qualified small firms that meet stringent performance and security requirements. Peterson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), indicating deep involvement in avionics and propulsion system upgrades. She also consistently procures Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511) for mission-specific applications, including AI-enabled analytics and real-time data fusion tools. Her technical domain expertise spans secure cloud migration, embedded systems, and aerospace-grade software certification, making her a pivotal figure in the Air Force’s digital transformation efforts.
