Emily Fishbein

Emily Fishbein serves as a key procurement professional within the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, part of the Department of the Air Force’s FA4452 organization, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and enterprise technology systems. Her role centers on enabling airpower readiness through the strategic sourcing of advanced aircraft components, avionics systems, and computer-based training solutions. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for flight simulation hardware, communications resilience tools, and logistics support services that directly enhance pilot proficiency and operational agility across combat and training environments. Her acquisitions are tightly aligned with the squadron’s mandate to modernize air force enterprise capabilities through agile, technically rigorous procurement practices. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Fishbein engages with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base vendors, including Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers and specialized systems integrators. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven expertise in military-grade avionics and secure IT infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance, technical validation, and performance-based outcomes. She consistently prioritizes vendors capable of delivering rapid prototyping, field-deployable solutions, and sustainment support for legacy and next-generation platforms. Fishbein’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-stakes, time-sensitive nature of airpower modernization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she maintains compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and may incorporate small businesses as subcontractors within prime contractor teams. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, encompassing flight control systems, mission computers, and cockpit instrumentation, alongside NAICS 541512 for computer systems design services, including simulation software, data analytics platforms, and secure network integration. Her technical domain expertise spans aerospace systems engineering, digital training environments, and defense IT modernization, positioning her as a critical enabler of Air Force operational readiness.
