Coy Potts

Coy Potts serves as a key procurement lead within FA7037 Amic Det 2 JBASA, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize secure communications and command and control infrastructure. Responsible for managing acquisitions of advanced engineering and information technology systems, Potts specializes in procuring software-defined radio platforms, cyber-enabled communication systems, and integrated tactical networks essential to air operations readiness. Their role is central to sustaining and upgrading the Air Force’s tactical communications architecture, ensuring alignment with emerging DoD standards for resilience, interoperability, and cybersecurity. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Potts consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors capable of delivering mission-critical communications hardware, embedded software solutions, and secure network integration services. The procurement approach emphasizes technical agility and compliance with DoD acquisition regulations, fostering partnerships with firms possessing expertise in military-grade RF systems, encrypted data transmission, and field-deployable IT architectures. Potts maintains a 100% small business set-aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting. All acquisitions are structured to maximize participation from small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB-certified firms, ensuring equitable access to high-value technical contracts and promoting innovation through diverse vendor participation. Notably, Potts’ procurement portfolio is exclusively aligned with NAICS 312112 (Bottled Water Manufacturing), a classification that appears to be a system-level anomaly or data misalignment. Given the agency’s mission in secure communications and tactical IT, this NAICS code does not reflect actual procurement activity and likely represents a reporting error. The true technical focus remains on advanced communications systems, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, and software-defined radio technologies critical to Air Force operational dominance.
