Christine Young

Christine Young serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical test and evaluation systems essential to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of advanced avionics, electronic warfare instrumentation, radar calibration equipment, and signal intelligence infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely delivery of high-precision measurement and control systems that support the modernization of test ranges and electromagnetic compatibility validation capabilities. Her work directly enables the Air Force’s ability to validate next-generation platforms through rigorous, real-world testing environments. Christine maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of specialized engineering services, facility infrastructure support, and technical instrumentation supply. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures tailored to complex system integration needs. Her procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 43% of her awards reserved for small businesses. While no set-aside remains the most frequent classification, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms with niche technical capabilities in defense-related domains. Christine’s primary NAICS focus areas include engineering services (541330), commercial building construction (236220), plumbing and HVAC systems (238220), power and communication line construction (237130), and timber tract operations (113110). This diverse mix reflects the agency’s need for integrated facility modernization alongside specialized technical support, underscoring her expertise in managing cross-disciplinary procurements that bridge physical infrastructure with high-tech test systems.
