Brittany Simpson

Brittany Simpson serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8571 Maintenance Contracting unit of the U.S. Air Force, supporting the sustainment of mission-critical aerospace and electronic systems. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on maintaining, repairing, and modernizing high-precision test equipment, avionics instrumentation, and industrial infrastructure essential to aircraft readiness and laboratory operations. Her work ensures the continued operational capability of Air Force maintenance facilities through strategic contracting for specialized technical services and engineered solutions. Simpson routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, prioritizing technical performance, lifecycle support, and supply chain reliability. She maintains enduring relationships with leading technology and fabrication vendors including Teradyne, Inc., Keysight Technologies Inc., and Corelis, Inc., leveraging their expertise in automated test equipment, electronic diagnostics, and boundary-scan systems. She also collaborates closely with TYONEK Machining and Fabrication, LLC, and Coho Consulting Group LLC for precision machining, custom fabrication, and technical advisory services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, technically capable contractors with proven track records in aerospace-grade manufacturing and systems integration, emphasizing long-term contract performance over short-term cost savings. Simpson’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and operational urgency, where specialized expertise in aerospace test systems and industrial maintenance takes precedence over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated strictly on technical merit, past performance, and ability to meet stringent military specifications. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing), indicating significant investment in facility-based test cell infrastructure and custom-engineered plastic components for electronic enclosures, fixtures, and shielding. Her domain expertise centers on the integration of industrial test systems, embedded diagnostics, and mission-critical hardware sustainment within Air Force maintenance environments.
