Her procurement portfolio centers on the design, development, and deployment of immersive online learning platforms, adaptive training systems, and integrated IT support services tailored to military workforce needs. She ensures alignment with Air Force modernization goals by overseeing contracts that bridge instructional design, cloud-based learning management systems, and cybersecurity-compliant educational technologies. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Capt.

She collaborates with both large systems integrators and specialized educational technology providers who possess demonstrated expertise in DoD compliance, FedRAMP authorization, and agile development methodologies. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, continuous feedback loops, and rapid iteration to meet evolving training requirements. Capt. Downie’s contracting patterns show a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors.

She routinely acquires services related to e-learning architecture, virtual reality training modules, and AI-driven personalized learning environments, demonstrating deep technical expertise in the intersection of defense workforce development and next-generation edtech.
