Heather L. Miller

Heather L. Miller serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA9401 377 Msg Pk, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical aerospace and defense systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, electronic warfare support, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement activities with the agency’s strategic imperatives to modernize air force operational capabilities. Miller specializes in complex technical acquisitions requiring rigorous engineering validation and rapid deployment timelines, often supporting R&D initiatives and fielded sensor systems. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., many of which provide specialized engineering services, mission support, and niche instrumentation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, responsive vendors capable of delivering customized technical solutions under tight operational constraints. Miller fosters collaborative, performance-driven partnerships with contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in defense-grade systems and rapid prototyping environments. Miller exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately 50% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 2.9% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified socioeconomic firms. While nearly half of her awards are non-set-aside, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business inclusion as a core component of acquisition strategy. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting heavy investment in mission-critical software platforms and data analytics tools. She also frequently procures equipment under NAICS 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and 335911 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus), underscoring her technical expertise in electronic warfare, signal processing, and precision measurement systems. Her work supports the integration of next-generation sensor networks and secure communications architectures across Air Force operational domains.
