Christine Young

Christine Young serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions for critical aerospace test and evaluation infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized construction and integration of power, communication, and instrumentation systems that support avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic mission to modernize high-precision measurement and control systems essential to air and space domain readiness. Christine 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 are frequently engaged for their technical expertise in constructing and maintaining mission-critical power and communication line infrastructure, as well as integrating ruggedized test instrumentation systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical precision, and long-term vendor collaboration, often resulting in repeat engagements with contractors who demonstrate proven capability in complex aerospace environments. Christine’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic categorizations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting decisions are driven by the need for specialized expertise in highly technical domains where only a limited pool of qualified vendors exists. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 237130—Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction—reflecting deep expertise in procuring infrastructure for electromagnetic compatibility testing, sensor network deployment, and secure communication line installations. She routinely manages contracts for hardened cabling systems, RF shielding, grounding networks, and integrated control panels critical to maintaining operational integrity in high-interference aerospace test ranges.
