Carrie Dudley

Carrie Dudley serves as a key procurement lead within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. She manages complex acquisition cycles for mission-critical technical services, training systems, and command and control infrastructure essential to pilot readiness and tactical communications. Her work directly enables combat-ready forces by ensuring timely delivery of advanced systems that enhance surveillance, interoperability, and operational effectiveness across the Air Combat Command enterprise. Dudley maintains strong, recurring relationships with specialized contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, all of which provide integrated maintenance, simulation, and engineering support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint venture structures and seasoned vendors with proven expertise in defense training systems and technical logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment contracts, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure system readiness and mission continuity. Dudley’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her contracting strategy emphasizes technical capability, past performance, and mission alignment over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the high-stakes nature of air combat readiness requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 423120 (Motor Vehicle Supplies and New Parts Merchant Wholesalers) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting a dual emphasis on logistics support for ground-based aviation assets and specialized technical engineering services. She routinely acquires avionics components, maintenance spare parts, simulation hardware, and systems integration services critical to training and operational sustainment, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense logistics and aerospace engineering procurement.
