Deborah M Young

Deborah C. Young serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of logistics, technology, and operational support services. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with DoD regulatory frameworks and USTransCom’s strategic priorities in expeditionary logistics, port operations, and rapid deployment. Her acquisitions primarily support command and control systems, transportation infrastructure, and mission-critical IT services essential to sustaining global military mobility. Young maintains established working relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, reflecting a consistent reliance on specialized aviation, logistics, and technical services providers. These partnerships are typically performance-based and rooted in long-term operational needs, with an emphasis on contractors capable of delivering complex, time-sensitive solutions across air, sea, and land domains. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, compliance, and mission readiness over cost alone. Her procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing specialized capabilities from the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, prioritizing technical expertise and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Young’s primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Systems Design Services (541512), Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), and Computer Terminal Manufacturing (334118), underscoring her specialization in IT infrastructure, software development, and hardware integration for transportation and logistics systems. She routinely procures enterprise-level computing platforms, mission-specific software applications, and peripheral equipment critical to USTransCom’s command, control, and communications architecture.
