Erika Lingamfelter

Erika Lingamfelter serves as a key procurement lead within the FA2486 AFTC PZZC (Eglin), supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to accelerate the development and validation of next-generation aerospace systems. She manages complex acquisitions focused on advanced engineering services, particularly in the design, integration, and testing of hypersonic platforms, fifth-generation datalinks, and hardware-in-the-loop sensor systems. Her work directly enables rapid prototyping and flight test readiness for high-priority defense programs, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through performance-based contracting and risk-managed acquisition strategies. Her primary contractor relationship is with L1 Enterprises Incorporated, a trusted provider of specialized computer systems design services. Lingamfelter consistently engages this vendor for end-to-end technical solutions, including system architecture, simulation modeling, and embedded software development tailored to classified aerospace environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with firms demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense-grade computing systems, rather than transactional or commoditized procurement. Lingamfelter’s portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical excellence and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing capability and schedule over size-based contracting mechanisms. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she maintains compliance with all federal acquisition regulations and ensures fair opportunity for all qualified offerors. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), encompassing advanced systems engineering, real-time simulation development, and secure data fusion architectures. She specializes in acquiring high-fidelity modeling and simulation tools, embedded avionics software, and secure communication protocols critical to next-generation air dominance systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace computing and defense systems integration.
