Desiree Griffith

Desiree Griffith serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8604 AFLCMC PZI unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization and sustainment of critical aerospace logistics and maintenance systems. She manages complex acquisitions for advanced manufacturing, engineering services, and mission-critical software solutions that enhance the operational readiness of Air Force platforms. Her portfolio focuses on automating maintenance workflows, upgrading material handling infrastructure, and integrating digital twin and predictive analytics capabilities across the Air Force Materiel Command. Griffith ensures compliance with defense acquisition regulations while aligning contract vehicles with strategic modernization goals. She maintains long-term partnerships with leading defense and industrial technology contractors, including General Electric Company, ACC3 International Incorporated, U.S. Materials Handling Corporation, ANSYS Government Initiatives Inc, and Warehouse One, Inc. These relationships center on high-value, technically complex procurements involving automation systems, industrial robotics, simulation software, and logistics support services. Griffith’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contracts to ensure responsive and scalable solutions. Griffith’s procurement activity shows no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing performance, innovation, and proven industrial capacity. While small business participation is not formally targeted, vendors of all sizes compete on technical merit and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep expertise in mission-critical software development, digital engineering tools, and automated logistics platforms. She consistently acquires advanced simulation systems, maintenance analytics software, and integrated material handling solutions that support next-generation aerospace sustainment.
