Cindy Hammack

Cindy D. Hammack serves as a procurement professional specializing in aerospace and aviation support acquisitions, playing a critical role in advancing agency capabilities through strategic contracting. She manages a portfolio focused on the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of aircraft propulsion systems, auxiliary equipment, and air transportation support services. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical components and logistics solutions, aligning with national defense and aviation operational requirements. Hammack’s acquisitions typically involve complex technical specifications requiring rigorous compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, often engaging with high-integrity supply chains in the aerospace sector. Her contractor relationships center on Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers and specialized service providers within the aviation industry. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with firms possessing AS9100 certification and relevant ITAR compliance credentials. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial base partners with proven track records in precision engineering and aerospace quality systems, alongside selective engagement with small businesses meeting technical and regulatory thresholds. Hammack’s set-aside profile reveals a strong orientation toward open competition, with 92.9% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. However, she maintains a deliberate commitment to small business participation, directing 7.1% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing technical capability and industrial readiness while ensuring equitable access for qualified small businesses without compromising mission performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in propulsion systems and flight-critical components. She also regularly procures support services under NAICS 488190 and specialized construction services under 238320, demonstrating a multidisciplinary understanding of aviation infrastructure and maintenance logistics. Hammack’s technical domain expertise spans propulsion engineering, avionics integration, and air transportation support operations.
