Connie J. Song

Connie J. Song serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within a federal agency focused on advanced manufacturing and logistics support. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-precision industrial systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. She specializes in procuring critical components for aerospace and motor vehicle systems, coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance requirements and evaluate vendor capabilities. Her acquisitions typically involve capital equipment, specialized instrumentation, and warehousing infrastructure essential to national defense and transportation readiness. Song maintains a broad network of industrial suppliers and manufacturers, with procurement activity concentrated among firms capable of meeting stringent technical specifications in aircraft engine components and industrial control systems. She engages primarily with established Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers possessing AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors demonstrating proven quality control, supply chain resilience, and on-time delivery performance. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive sealed bidding and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure mission-critical outcomes. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 96.4% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she consistently reserves a small but intentional portion of contracts for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. This pattern signals a balanced approach—prioritizing performance while still supporting qualified veteran-owned enterprises. Song’s technical expertise is anchored in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), where she procures turbine components, fuel systems, and propulsion controls. She also manages acquisitions in warehousing and storage (493190) and industrial measurement instrumentation (334513), reflecting a multidisciplinary portfolio spanning aerospace, automotive, and logistics domains. Her work requires deep familiarity with military specifications, engineering drawings, and supply chain traceability standards.
