Mr. Corey M. Berry

Corey M. Berry serves as a key procurement professional within the FA8307 Aflcmc Hnck C3IN unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization of secure command, control, communications, intelligence, and cyber operations capabilities for air and space domains. Responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions, Berry facilitates the procurement of software systems, cyber defense tools, and mission computing infrastructure essential to real-time decision-making and operational resilience. Their work directly enables the integration of advanced technical solutions that sustain Air Force superiority in contested environments, with a focus on rapid capability delivery and system interoperability. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the acquisition record, Berry’s procurement patterns indicate engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including firms specializing in custom software development, cyber infrastructure support, and industrial maintenance services. The contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with both established defense contractors and agile small businesses capable of delivering tailored technical solutions under tight operational timelines. Berry demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation. Approximately 18.8% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with an additional 6.3% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden the industrial base and nurture emerging defense-capable vendors. The primary NAICS focus areas reveal a unique blend of technical and operational needs: 33.3% of procurements fall under Other Individual and Family Services, suggesting support for personnel readiness or mission support services; 25% under Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair indicates maintenance of specialized hardware; and 8.3% each under Custom Computer Programming and IT services underscore a clear demand for software development, systems integration, and cyber-enabled mission support. This mix reflects a hybrid acquisition strategy bridging IT modernization with sustainment of legacy and emerging operational platforms.
