Christina Nortey

Christina Nortey serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that support the modernization and sustainment of mission-critical Air Force systems. Her work centers on securing advanced professional services and technical support essential to operational readiness, with a primary focus on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity infrastructure. She leads the acquisition lifecycle for high-priority contracts requiring specialized expertise in software development, data analytics, and defense-grade IT architecture, ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic objectives and DoD acquisition regulations. Nortey maintains consistent partnerships with leading technical service providers, including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for organizations with deep domain expertise in defense-related research and engineering support. Her contracting patterns indicate strong collaboration with academic research institutions and specialized small-to-midsize technical firms capable of delivering tailored solutions in cybersecurity, systems integration, and mission analytics. These relationships are built on sustained performance, technical rigor, and the ability to operate within classified and sensitive environments. Nortey’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict non-set-aside approach, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a prioritization of technical capability and mission suitability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-fidelity support in time-sensitive operational domains. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors must still demonstrate proven expertise in delivering mission-critical services under stringent defense standards. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 511210, which encompasses software publishing and custom software development for defense applications. She consistently acquires advanced software solutions, enterprise-level analytics platforms, and secure IT infrastructure services tailored to Air Force command and control, intelligence, and logistics modernization initiatives. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling technologies that require deep integration with legacy systems and compliance with DoD cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 and RMF.
