Caprecia Mortimer

Caprecia Mortimer serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8552 AFLCMC WIU, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical aviation systems. She manages acquisitions for advanced avionics, aircraft subsystems, and auxiliary equipment essential to maintaining operational readiness of military aircraft platforms. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance pilot situational awareness and system reliability through the procurement of next-generation aerospace components and integrated engineering services. Mortimer oversees complex contract vehicles requiring technical rigor, compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and close coordination with engineering and logistics teams to ensure delivered capabilities meet stringent military performance standards. Mortimer collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of aerospace suppliers, including specialized manufacturers of flight-critical avionics, engine components, and mission-system integrators. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing AS9100 certification, ITAR compliance, and experience in DoD Tier 2–3 supply chains. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance, and agile delivery timelines, often leveraging Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation. Mortimer demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 57% of her portfolio designated for Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, innovative firms. An additional 5.5% of awards are competed under the 8(a) program, indicating targeted support for disadvantaged business enterprises. Her contracting approach aligns with Air Force mandates to diversify the industrial base and foster resilience through broad small business participation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she acquires specialized components such as flight control modules, sensor interfaces, and mission computer peripherals. Secondary focus areas include aircraft engine parts (336412) and professional engineering services (541990), underscoring her technical expertise in avionics integration, electronic component qualification, and lifecycle sustainment of airborne systems.
