Christine Procido

Christine Procido serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO, a specialized unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for advancing airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. She manages the acquisition of high-precision measurement and control technologies critical to avionics, electronic warfare, radar, and signal intelligence platforms, ensuring mission readiness through modernized test and evaluation infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on complex technical systems requiring rigorous validation, including signal conditioning hardware, electromagnetic compatibility test suites, and real-time data acquisition instruments, all aligned with DoD standards for aerospace systems integration. Procido maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These vendors provide specialized engineering services, ruggedized instrumentation, electromagnetic shielding solutions, and custom test fixture fabrication—often requiring niche certifications and technical compliance with MIL-STD and DO-160 standards. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms demonstrating proven expertise in aerospace-grade hardware development and field-deployable test systems. While the majority of her acquisitions—85.7%—are conducted as full and open competitions, she maintains a deliberate 14.3% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but consistent emphasis on small business participation without formal socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic classifications. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 339112—Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing—reflecting a technical alignment with precision sensor and instrumentation manufacturing, even within defense contexts. This underscores her deep specialization in high-reliability, low-volume, high-accuracy measurement systems critical to aerospace test and evaluation domains.
