Corey Collins

Corey Collins serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness through specialized technical and professional services. While not the primary contracting officer, Collins plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, requirements validation, and contract administration for high-priority IT and systems engineering initiatives. Their work centers on ensuring alignment between mission needs and contract execution, particularly in the domain of custom software development and enterprise-level technical assistance. Collins routinely interfaces with program managers and technical teams to define scope, assess vendor capabilities, and streamline the procurement lifecycle for mission-critical solutions. Collins maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide specialized systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA) services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements focused on cybersecurity infrastructure, data analytics, and IT modernization. The collaboration patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity providers with proven expertise in defense-sector technical support, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and other flexible contracting mechanisms to meet dynamic operational demands. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, scalable solutions from the most qualified sources regardless of business size or certification status. The agency’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, indicating a deep specialization in bespoke software development, algorithmic modeling, and integrated IT systems tailored to Air Force operational environments. Procurements center on secure coding, legacy system modernization, and mission analytics platforms, underscoring a technical domain expertise in defense-critical software engineering and enterprise IT architecture.
