Prinzel serves as a Contract Specialist within the Headquarters of Air Combat Command’s Acquisition Management Integration Center (FA4890), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain and modernize air dominance capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for advanced training systems, command and control infrastructure, and technical services essential to pilot readiness and tactical communications.

Prinzel maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including VETPRIDE-EMI MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MILTRAIN JV II LLC, and JBW FEDITC JV LLC, reflecting a preference for established joint ventures and specialized service providers with proven expertise in defense training and maintenance. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in military systems integration, ensuring technical alignment with operational requirements and mission success.
