Carter Moore

Carter Moore supports the FA8139 AFSC PZIMB Software agency within the Department of the Air Force, playing a critical role in procuring advanced software systems, embedded test instrumentation, and mission-critical electronics for aerospace platform modernization. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in avionics, real-time data acquisition, and signal integrity solutions, Moore ensures that contracting actions align with the agency’s mission to sustain and enhance Air Force combat capabilities through cutting-edge software integration. His portfolio encompasses custom software development, hardware-software co-design, and field-deployable diagnostic systems essential for next-generation aircraft systems. Moore maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, AccessAgility LLC, FCN Inc, and CM Buck & Associates Inc. These vendors are frequently engaged for their expertise in defense-grade software engineering, embedded firmware development, and test instrumentation integration. His contracting approach favors long-term, performance-based relationships with firms demonstrating proven capability in high-assurance aerospace environments, often leveraging Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate innovation. While the majority of acquisitions are open to full and open competition, Moore consistently allocates over 40% of contracting opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong commitment to small business participation. His procurement patterns show minimal use of other socioeconomic programs, prioritizing broad small business eligibility over targeted set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, thereby expanding access to technically capable firms across the defense industrial base. The agency’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to precision equipment repair (811210), commercial machinery maintenance (811310), and niche manufacturing sectors such as machine tool and industrial furnace production—reflecting a unique blend of hardware sustainment and software-intensive system modernization. Moore’s expertise lies at the intersection of electronic systems maintenance and mission-critical software development, ensuring legacy platforms remain operationally viable through integrated, field-upgradable solutions.
