Edna C. Alonis

Edna C. Alonis serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8102 Aflcmc Hbk, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing mission-critical air domain capabilities. She manages the acquisition of advanced engineering, systems integration, and technical support services essential to air superiority, including aeronautical navigation, detection, and command systems. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurements requiring deep technical expertise in avionics, systems engineering, and R&D-driven solutions, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contract execution aligned with Air Force modernization priorities. Ms. Alonis maintains a consistent working relationship with BETTER DIRECT, LLC, a key contractor delivering specialized engineering and systems support services. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in aerospace systems and IT infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and performance accountability. While she engages primarily with large, experienced contractors, her approach remains flexible to accommodate specialized small business capabilities when aligned with technical requirements. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 90.9% of her acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides, reflecting the mission-critical and highly specialized nature of the requirements. However, she maintains a measured commitment to small business participation, with 9.1% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes capability while ensuring equitable access. Ms. Alonis’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), each accounting for nearly half of her activity. She frequently procures advanced avionics components, mission-critical software systems, and engineering R&D services under NAICS 541712 and 541715, underscoring her expertise in aeronautical systems integration, digital infrastructure modernization, and applied physical sciences. Her work directly supports the development of next-generation air traffic and tactical command capabilities.
