Charity Simcox-Husa

Charity Simcox-Husa serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8220 Aflcmc Wndt, a critical sustainment unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for maintaining combat readiness of legacy and operational aircraft platforms such as the F-5 and T-38. Her work centers on the lifecycle support of specialized airframe and avionics components, managing acquisitions for aftermarket parts, thermal battery logistics, and auxiliary equipment essential to fleet sustainment. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted operational capability through timely, compliant procurement of mission-critical components, aligning acquisition strategies with Air Force modernization and readiness imperatives. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and suppliers specializing in aerospace component production, particularly those with deep expertise in legacy system support and military-specification parts. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she engages with a broad base of defense industrial base partners capable of meeting stringent military certification and quality control standards, including those with AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain resilience, and rapid response to urgent maintenance requirements. Simcox-Husa’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise and production capacity, prioritizing mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical merit, past performance, and delivery capability. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing avionics upgrades, flight control subsystems, thermal batteries, and non-standard airframe components. She possesses deep domain knowledge in military aircraft sustainment, with expertise in sourcing obsolete parts, reverse-engineered components, and certified replacements for aging platforms critical to training and operational readiness.
