Claudia Perry

Claudia Perry supports the acquisition mission of the FA9401 377 Msg Pk within the Department of the Air Force, managing procurements for advanced aerospace and defense systems critical to air force operational readiness. She specializes in securing mission-critical instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, electronic warfare support, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment that underpin sensor modernization and tactical data integrity. Her role centers on ensuring timely delivery of technically complex systems through compliant, transparent contracting processes aligned with Air Force strategic modernization goals. Perry maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These vendors provide niche capabilities in secure communications, field-deployable instrumentation, environmental compliance for defense facilities, and mission support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes trusted partnerships with firms possessing proven technical expertise in high-stakes defense environments, fostering reliable, repeat collaborations that reduce acquisition risk and accelerate fielding timelines. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with nearly 43% of awards designated for total small business set-asides and an equal share allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach underscores a deliberate strategy to leverage small business innovation while ensuring access to specialized technical capabilities. The absence of set-asides in roughly 28% of awards indicates flexibility to pursue sole-source or open competition when mission requirements demand unique expertise not available within the small business base. Perry’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 561621 (security systems services), 713990 (amusement and recreation industries—likely referencing specialized training or simulation environments), and 541380 (testing laboratories and services), with additional emphasis on electrical contracting and ambulance services that support remote or expeditionary operations. Her domain expertise spans secure data transmission, environmental compliance for military installations, and the validation of mission-critical hardware through accredited testing protocols, reflecting a deep understanding of both technical and regulatory requirements in defense acquisition.
